ANS seeks program evaluators for ABET accreditation
When ABET visits to universities for accreditation purposes, it’s crucial that a qualified nuclear expert performs the assessment of that school’s nuclear engineering, radiological engineering, and/or health physics programs. The Accreditation Policies and Procedures Committee (APPC) of the American Nuclear Society works to ensure that a program evaluator (PEV) from the Society leads these ABET assessments.

A precise hydrogen permeation experiment for beryllium was conducted at a temperature ranging from 735 to 1000 K under hydrogen gas pressure of 101 to 103 Pa. Diffusion coefficient and permeation coefficient were determined from the steady state penneation and time transient penneation independently. The steady state penneation rate was proportional to the square root of H2 pressure and the time sequence of penneation rate agreed well with theoretical one, indicating that the penneation controlled by bulk diffusion. The temperature dependencies of the penneation coefficients (Φ) and diffusion coefficients (D) were respectively,Φ=(1.0±0.1)×10−6exp[−73±20(kJ/mol)/RT] (mol·m−1·s−1·Pa1/2),D=(1.3±0.1)×10−7exp[59±20(kJ/mol)/RT] (m2·s−1).Solubility calculated from the relation Φ=DS wasS=7.1 exp[−14(kJ/mol)/RT] (mol·m−3·Pa−1/2).
