Precise Data Urged for Nuclear Energy Research Progress
The report stresses the need for precise data in a key energy range for nuclear physics chemistry and engineering. It notes the potential of an electrostatic accelerator to offer 0.1 percent energy control and versatile ion types from protons to deuterons. Continuous energy tuning from 2,000,000 to 12,000,000 volts enables neutron beams from 90,000 to 30,000,000 electron volts. The commission cites earlier incomplete progress and the necessity to develop further designs and materials before advancing.
