ANS webinar to focus on low-dose radiation risk
Join ANS on Thursday, January 21, at noon (ET) for a Q&A with an expert panel as they discuss how to communicate about the risk of low-dose radiation. “Talking About Low-dose Radiation Risk” is a free members-only event that serves as a follow-up to the “Risky Business” President’s Session that took place during the ANS Virtual Winter Meeting last November. The session will take a deeper dive into the many questions generated from the thought-provoking discussion.
Register now to attend the webinar.

In GAMMA 10, divertor simulation study has been started as a new research plan. Finding of the reduction method of high heat-load to the divertor plates is an important key of an operation scenario of fusion reactors. So precise estimation of divertor heat flux is an important task to do it. The paper describes advanced concept of heat flux estimation and proposes the improvement of the sensor used in GAMMA 10. First experimental result of a new sensor is also shown.
