Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

A data-base assessment of neutronics and tritium breeding for the International Tokamak Reactor (INTOR) is presented. This work is based on a recent study conducted for the U.S. contributions to the Phase IIA INTOR study. The data-base assessment is divided into three areas: tritium breeding requirement, nuclear data, and neutronics methods and codes.
