Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

DTE Energy studying uprate at Fermi-2, considers Fermi-3’s prospects
DTE Energy, the owner of Fermi nuclear power plant in Michigan, is considering an extended uprate for Unit 2 that would increase its 1,100-MW generation capacity by 150 MW.

The distributions in water of indium resonance and 115In(n,n′)115m In neutrons from a 2.85-MeV T( ρ ,n)3 He source have been measured. The values of the integrated plane activities perpendicular to the proton beam direction (including the extrapolated region beyond the range of measurement in each plane) are presented. The experimental results are in agreement with Monte Carlo calculations utilizing two oxygen elastic-scattering descriptions and agree within quoted standard deviations in both cases.
