Natura executes an OTA with the DOE
Progress in the Department of Energy’s Reactor Pilot Program continues as Natura Resources has executed an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with the DOE for the company’s Molten Salt Research Reactor being pursued in close collaboration with Abilene Christian University (ACU) in Texas. Reactor projects participating in the program would progress through DOE authorization and oversight rather than Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing.

All of the reaction cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for the neutron-induced 46,47,49,50,nat.Ti reactions below 20 MeV. Concurrently, the present work uses the optical model; the unified Hauser-Feshbach theory; the exciton model, which includes the improved Iwamoto-Harada model; and the distorted wave Born approximation theory. Especially, the recoil effect is taken into account in the calculation to keep the energy balance of whole reaction processes. Theoretical calculations are compared with existing experimental data and other evaluated data in ENDF/B-VIII, JENDL-4, and JEFF-3 below 20 MeV. Our theoretical calculated results agree with the experimental data and give a better description than the other evaluations for all reactions.
