ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
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.

BWXT to demonstrate TRISO fuel line operations under contract extension
BWX Technologies announced on January 24 that it has been awarded a $4.9 million contract amendment to produce TRISO fuel particles using natural uranium and to demonstrate performance under a defined production schedule. BWXT’s Nuclear Operations Group will perform the work at BWXT’s Lynchburg, Va., facility, where TRISO production was restarted in November 2020. The contract amendment was awarded by Battelle Energy Alliance, which manages Idaho National Laboratory on behalf of the Department of Energy.

Instability that results in modulation of the neutron flux from the GOL-3 discharge is identified. It is shown that the flow of hot plasma through cold cells of a multiple-mirror trap can lead to excitation of oscillations in these cells with ~ Ti/[script l]. The frequency range and the parallel polarization of the oscillations ensure that they scatter most passing ions in parallel velocity, thus providing a self-sustaining mechanism of improvement of parallel confinement.
