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.

A simple method for the determination of the energetic parameters of the T(d,n)4He neutron beam from a solid titanium-tritium target is described. The energetic parameters under consideration are: the value of the neutron energy, the neutron energy spread in the beam, the mean deuteron interacting energy, and/or the mean deuteron energy loss in the target. The proposed method is based on an accurate measurement of the energy and the full-width at half-maximum of the T(d,n)4He neutron beam. The measurements are made at the angle under consideration and at 95 deg as a reference angle of the neutron direction relative to the deuteron beam direction. The parameters are obtained by a comparison between the measured results at these two angles. The method does not require any additional measurement equipment other than the standard system used in fast neutron spectra measurements, i.e., a 2- × 2-in. NE-213 liquid scintillator in conjunction with the FORIST unfolding procedure to process the proton recoil spectra into energy spectra.
