ANS continues to expand its certificate offerings
It’s almost been a full year since the American Nuclear Society held its inaugural section of Nuclear 101, a comprehensive certificate course on the basics of the nuclear field. Offered at the 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo, that first sold-out course marked a massive milestone in the Society’s expanding work in professional development and certification.

The presence of impurities could affect the results observed in pure Ni. In particular, impurities could interact with self-interstitial atoms, which are highly mobile, effectively reducing their mobility. In this work we study the influence of the mobility of self-interstitials on He desorption. The nucleation of He-vacancy complexes is studied depending on the mobility of these self-interstitials in terms of He to vacancy content as well as concentration of these complexes.
