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.

The experimental industrial plant for hydrogen isotope separation on the basis of the methods of chemical isotope exchange between water and hydrogen and water electrolysis (CECE process) is under operation in Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute. The large-scale studies of hydrogen isotope separation have been ongoing at this plant since 1995. The plant is also used for reprocessing tritium heavy water waste; several tons of reactor quality heavy water have been obtained. The EVIO-4 code allows one to predict the concentration profile in the column under parameter changes. The calculation results are in compliance with the experimental data. The 18,000 hours experience gained during the plant operation shows the high efficiency of isotope separation by CECE process and allows us to regard this process with considerable promise for the industrial use, in particular, for water purification from tritium.
