IAEA’s nuclear security center offers hands-on training
In the past year and a half, the International Atomic Energy Agency has established the Nuclear Security Training and Demonstration Center (NSTDC) to help countries strengthen their nuclear security regimes. The center, located at the IAEA’s Seibersdorf laboratories outside Vienna, Austria, has been operational since October 2023.

Cross sections for the 141Pr(α,x) 144,143,141Pm, 138mPr, 141cum,140cumNd, and 139cumCe reactions were measured by the stacked foil technique at an alpha-particle range of 60 to 20 MeV. Most of the data were obtained for the first time. Experimental data were compared with earlier research and theoretical values from the TENDL-2021 database. Thick target yields of activation products were calculated. The reaction 141Pr(α,5n)140Pm (9.2 s)→140Nd was compared with other 140Nd production routes.
