ANS panel discussion looks at nuclear’s place in maritime, energy, medicine, space
The applications of nuclear energy extend beyond providing power to the electrical grid. Advanced nuclear technologies may soon have new applications in oil and gas facilities, in hospitals and clinics, on the open seas, and on the moon.
A June 1 executive session, “How Nuclear Technologies will Shape the Future Energy Economy,” at the American Nuclear Society’s Annual Conference allowed experts have an open discussion on the future of nuclear advancements in multiple sectors.

A technique has been developed to characterize the doping concentration distribution of inertial confinement fusion capsules based on a method combining absorption retrieval, computerized tomography, and a gradient doping absorption model. The doping concentration distribution in a reconstructed slice of Si-doped capsules was obtained using this method and on average is in good agreement with contact radiography by comparison experiments. The established technique has been used to obtain a three-dimensional point cloud of the doping concentration distribution by reconstructing all of the slices for the doping capsules. Uncertainty of the doping concentration was analyzed, and the expanded uncertainty is approximately 0.1 at. % (K = 2).
