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 Tritium Laboratory from NIPNE, Romania has been commissioned as part of Radioisotope Research and Production Center in 1976. The Tritium Laboratory is in the refurbishment process. A project POS Priority Axis 2 and several national research projects financially support the upgrading works, which involves dismantling of the used equipment and facilities.In this paper the preliminary refurbishment activities are described as follows:- Radiological features for inventory of radioactive and non-radioactive wastes resulted from the cleanup activities- Decommissioning of the used equipments (glass tritium manifolds, facility for removal of labile tritium, facilities for radio chromatographic assays and endurance tests)- cleaning up of boxes and hoods.The new facilities have been introduced in cleaned boxes and radiochemical hoods.
