Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

Electromagnetic field modeling in ICRF on the basis of standard mesh methods is complicated by different space scales of slow and fast waves. For this reason, a new method based on the approximation of solution by polynomial-exponential basic functions is proposed for advanced modeling of rapidly oscillating solutions. The method has been studied for the Helmholtz equation in comparison with standard mesh methods. The new method provides the same accuracy on a substantially rarer mesh. This advantage is more pronounced, if the solution varies very rapidly. The formalism of employment of the first-order local solution method for the boundary problem for Maxwell's equations in a slab geometry is presented. The problem of elimination of possible degeneration of the local solutions is discussed.
