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.

The analytical expressions for the average ion range R, projected range Rp, and ion straggling DRP in the projected range are presented. To determine the above-mentioned parameters, the approximation for nuclear stopping power Sn was used. The exemplary calculations of Rp, DRP, and the concentration distribution of arsenic implanted into silicon were performed. The results were compared with experimental data, achieving satisfactory agreement.
