Applications open for the fall cohort of Mentor Match
Applications are officially open for the second cohort of the American Nuclear Society’s newly redesigned mentoring program. Mentor Match is a unique opportunity available only to ANS members that offers year-round mentorship and networking opportunities to Society members at any point in their education.
The deadline to apply for membership in the fall cohort, which will take place October 1–November 30, is September 17. The application form can be found here.

A scoping design study was performed for a Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (FMIF). This work summarizes the industry contribution to the national effort. Other organizations involved have included the DOE and national laboratories, as well as the industrial partners. The objective of this work was to obtain a general facility layout incorporating advances in accelerator technology and beam optics design and control since FMIT, and an associated scoping cost estimate. The baseline design has two beamlines each delivering 125 mA of 35 MeV deuterons onto one of two flowing liquid lithium targets. The system has been designed for a future upgrade to four beamlines delivering up to a total of 500 mA on target. This system can provide an equivalent 14 MeV neutron flux of 2 MW/m2 in a volume greater than one liter at a flux gradient of less than 10% per centimeter.
