60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Using time-of-flight techniques, we have measured neutron emission spectra from 6- and 10-MeV incident neutron energies on 10B and 11B for laboratory angles between 20 and 145 deg using the unique neutron source reaction 1H(t,n). Double-differential cross sections and their integrated values have been extracted for elastic and inelastic processes, and their integrated values are summarized. In cases where discrete scattering peaks could be analyzed, differential cross-section angular distributions have been extracted and are compared to other results and to evaluated nuclear data.
