Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Framatome, KHNP to investigate producing Lu-177 in South Korea
Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope Lutetium-177 at KHNP’s Wolsong nuclear power plant in South Korea. The companies also will investigate the feasibility of using the plant to support Korean production of medical radioisotopes in the future.

To evaluate tritium oxidation as a means of converting permeating tritium to tritiated water on stainless steel, two series of experiments were done in which the tritiated water yield was determined. The first examined the effect of a reduced tritium permeation rate; the second examined the effect of the presence of different metal oxides. A reduced tritium permeation rate reduced the yield of tritiated water. The presence of Fe3O4 resulted in an increased tritiated water yield, >99% at 500 ppm oxygen. The Fe3O4 was the iron species on a metal oxide composed of large islands, heavily enriched in iron, uniformly scattered across a fine surface oxide that was enriched in chromium.
