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.

Framatome signs contracts with Sizewell C
French nuclear developer Framatome is slated to deliver key equipment for Sizewell C Ltd.’s two large reactors planned for the United Kingdom’s Suffolk coast.
The agreement, reportedly worth multiple billions of euros, was announced this week and will involve Framatome from the design phase until commissioning. The company also agreed to a long-term fuel supply deal. Framatome is 80.5 percent owned by France’s EDF and 19.5 percent owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

Resonance ionization spectroscopy is a newly developed technology enabling the counting of single atoms of materials. It is uniquely suited for use as an analytical tool for ultrasensitive elemental analysis. The method is described; typical data illustrating the principal features of the method are shown, and the formation of a spin-off company during the early stages of the U.S. government's new initiative encouraging technology transfer is described. Alvin M. Weinberg's contributions to the formation of this enterprise have been significant.
