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.

Tritium production-rate (TPR) distributions of 6Li, 7Li and NLi were measured in a Be-sandwich Li2O assembly. The Be-region of 50.8 mm-thick was sandwiched by 50.6 and 506 mm-thick Li2O regions. Tritium production rates along the central axis were measured by four techniques, i.e., liquid scintillation method with Li2O pellets, self-irradiation method with LiF TLDs, Li-glass scintillators and a small sphere NE213 detector. The TPRs measured by the four methods agreed well with each other within the experimental errors. The calculation was performed by DOT3.5 with the nuclear data files of JENDL-3T and ENDF/B-IV. An agreement is observed between the calculated and measured TPRs within the experimental errors except near the Be-region.
