Norway’s Halden reactor takes first step toward decommissioning
The government of Norway has granted the transfer of the Halden research reactor from the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) to the state agency Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning (NND). The 25-MWt Halden boiling water reactor operated from 1958 to 2018 and was used in the research of nuclear fuel, reactor internals, plant procedures and monitoring, and human factors.

The medium-mass structural material titanium has been extensively applied in the nuclear reactor systems of fission or fusion, and related data are also urgently needed. In the present work, all reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for the n+48Ti reaction below 200 MeV. The theoretical calculations are compared with the experimental data, together with the evaluated results in the ENDF/B-VIII.0, JENDL-4.0, and JEFF-3.3 libraries. In general, these results provide a satisfactory description of the corresponding experimental data.
