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.

ORAU, ANS, others to host workshops on nuclear academic programs
Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU), in partnership with the American Nuclear Society, the Nuclear Energy Institute, and the Institute for Nuclear Power Operators, has announced it will host an online workshop called “Shaping the Future of Nuclear Academic Programs.” The 90-minute program is designed for university department heads and faculty interested in enhancing nuclear science and technology programs through best practices.

A two-dimensional energy and time-of-flight charged-particle spectrometer has been developed and used to measure the double-differential cross-section (DDX) data of (n, xp) and (n, x) reactions for several elements with 14.1-MeV incident neutrons at OKTAVIAN, the Intense 14-MeV Neutron Source Facility of Osaka University. The DDX data of the 51V(n, xp), 51V(n, x), natFe(n, xp), natFe(n, x), 59Co(n, xp), 59Co(n, x), natNi(n, x), natCu(n, x), 93Nb(n, xp), 93Nb(n, x), and natMo(n, xp) reactions are measured. The angle-integrated energy differential cross-section (EDX) data were deduced from the measured DDX data and compared with other experimental results [except for the 59Co(n, xp) reaction] and evaluated nuclear data of JENDL fusion file (JENDL-FF). A comparison was also done with the ENDF/B-VI for the total reaction cross sections of all measured reactions except for the natMo(n, xp) reaction and the EDX of the natNi(n, x) and natCu(n, x) reactions. The theoretical calculations were done by using the SINCROS-II code. The measured data agreed fairly well with other data for almost all the reactions. The JENDL-FF and SINCROS-II data underestimate the measured EDX data for the reactions of 93Nb(n, x) and natMo(n, xp). For the natFe(n, xp), natFe(n, x), 59Co(n, x), and natNi(n, x) reactions, smaller data are given than other data, i.e, other experimental data, JENDL-FF, and ENDF/B-VI. The SINCROS-II code can reproduce well for both the proton and alpha-particle emission cross-section values.
