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.

Tank waste operations resume at Idaho’s IWTU
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management announced yesterday that waste processing operations have resumed at the Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) at the Idaho National Laboratory Site. The resumption of operations follows the completion of two maintenance campaigns at the radioactive liquid waste treatment facility.

We proposed a flexible electron density measurement system based on the interferometer for confinement study. An INRD guide antenna for spatial scan capability of a probe beam has been analytically designed. As a result of fabricating and evaluating the antenna, it was confirmed that the antenna has a predicted performance. We also evaluated the analysis method of a sampled data with numerical simulation in order to calculate phase shift due to the plasma density. A 3000 order FIR filter could successfully separate a sample signal with various frequencies into a signal with a single frequency when S/N is not critical.
