Division Spotlight
Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

Studying of energy and spatial distribution of fast ions is the principal problem in GDT-based neutron source project. The analyser described here was used to solve this problem. It includes active target, stripping chamber, electrostatic capacitor and microchannel plate with amplifiers. Fast ions are neutralizing on active target (hydrogen beam). These particles go through collimation system, get recharged in the stripping chamber for further separation on energies in the electrostatic analyser and finally falls to MCP. Then signals are amplified and registered.
