ANS seeks program evaluators for ABET accreditation
When ABET visits universities for accreditation purposes, it’s crucial that a qualified nuclear expert performs the assessment of that school’s nuclear engineering, radiological engineering, and/or health physics programs. The Accreditation Policies and Procedures Committee (APPC) of the American Nuclear Society works to ensure that a program evaluator (PEV) from the Society leads these ABET assessments.

The paper involves the formulation of the transient digital control problem of power reactors. Simplifications have been considered that have to be made to enable modern control theory to be applicable for use in digital control. Included in the discussion are the approaches of digital control systems that would statisfy stability, autonomy, and optimal filtering criteria. The aim of this discussion is to propose possible solutions of the considered problem and further investigations.
