INL researchers use LEDs to shed light on next-gen reactors
At Idaho National Laboratory, researchers have built a bridge between computer models and the lab’s Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) microreactor.
Tony Crawford, an INL researcher and MARVEL’s reactivity control system lead, designed a phone booth–sized surrogate nuclear reactor called ViBRANT, or Visual Benign Reactor as Analog for Nuclear Testing, which uses light instead of neutrons to show a “nuclear” reaction.
The American Nuclear Society, as administered by the International Committee, has established a number of bilateral agreements with other Societies which provide for mutual cooperation. Agreements have been established with:
The American Nuclear Society, again as administered by the International Committee, has close contact with Society Non-U.S. Local Sections in:
Finally, the American Nuclear Society, via the International Committee, maintains good relations with one affiliated national society: the Belgian Nuclear Society.
