ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse
The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

PHITS is a general-purpose Monte Carlo particle transport simulation code developed under collaboration between Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Research Organization for Information Science and Technology (RIST), and several institutes all over the world. It can deal with the transport of nearly all particles over wide energy ranges, using several nuclear reaction models and nuclear data libraries. PHITS can support your researches in the fields of accelerator technology, radiotherapy, space radiation, and in many other fields which are related to particle and heavy ion transport phenomena. See PHITS website in more detail. (http://phits.jaea.go.jp)
If you would like to attend the course, you have to obtain the license of the latest version of PHITS. It is free of charge, and the instruction to get the license is given below (https://phits.jaea.go.jp/howtoget.html). When you submit the application form via PHITS website, please select “Submission of application form” in the contact page of PHITS website, and write “I would like to attend PHITS course in ICRS-14/RPSD-202, Sept 2020” in the message body.
Attendees must bring a laptop PC with either Windows or Mac OS. This tutorial course is intended for researchers who are familiar with Monte Carlo particle transport simulation. Attendees will learn the basic usage of PHITS, highlighting difference between the input formats of PHITS and other codes.
To join the conversation, you must be logged in and registered for the meeting.
