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.

A remotely operable vacuum duct joint has been designed by GA Technologies, Inc. The concept is applicable to large rectangular vacuum ducts, many of which are required on advanced fusion devices. The duct size chosen for this design is 1m × .4m although it may be scaled up or down for other applications. Shaft driven mechanical linkages provide a large axial force against one flange which is reacted by latch mechanisms that engage the mating flange. Drive shafts are actuated by an impact wrench handled by a remote manipulator. Remote disassembly time is about 3 hours.
