The newest era of workforce development at ANS
As most attendees of this year’s ANS Annual Conference left breakfast in the Grand Ballroom of the Chicago Downtown Marriott to sit in on presentations covering everything from career pathways in fusion to recently digitized archival nuclear films, 40 of them made their way to the hotel’s fifth floor to take part in the second offering of Nuclear 101, a newly designed certification course that seeks to give professionals who are in or adjacent to the industry an in-depth understanding of the essentials of nuclear energy and engineering from some of the field’s leading experts.

The effects of radiation streaming through the neutral beam injector (NBI) port and divertor throat of a tokamak fusion reactor, the INTOR-J, was evaluated using Monte Carlo and discrete ordinates methods. Radiation streaming through the NBI port is found to be tolerable when a thick drift tube support acts as an effective shield. Neutron streaming through the divertor throat, however, makes the shutdown dose too high for personnel access into the reactor room. The radiation levels in the reactor room resulting from leakage through the NBI room walls are far smaller than that from leakage through the bulk shield, except behind the NBI room. The Monte Carlo-Monte Carlo and discrete ordinates—Monte Carlo coupling techniques used in the present study are shown to be very effective for the radiation streaming calculations.
