Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Orano Med expands its Texas Pb-212 R&D center
Orano Group subsidiary Orano Med, a developer of targeted alpha therapies for oncology, inaugurated the expansion of its main research and development center located in Plano, Texas. The facility is used in the development of radiopharmaceuticals and for conducting preclinical research focused on targeted alpha therapies using lead-212, an alpha-emitting radioisotope that has shown promise in treating various types of cancer.
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by RPD
Wednesday, November 16, 2022|8:00–9:45AM MST|Sonoran 8
Session Chair:
Friederike Bostelmann (ORNL)
Session Organizer:
Different methods are discussed in the literature to determine approximations for zone-wise inventory in pebble-bed reactors. Various challenges exist including the consideration of a mixture of pebbles at different burnups, different travel paths of the individual pebbles through the core, traveling of the pebbles through zones of different temperatures/flux/powers/spectral conditions, and more. The panel is intended to cover the latest status of these methods, to discuss pros and cons of the different methods, to highlight where experience showed that phenomena need to be considered or that approximations are sufficient.
