  Young Members Group
  The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

  Filling technical gaps and fueling the advancing nuclear supply chain at SRNL
  Ensuring energy resilience for our nation is on the minds of leaders and citizens alike. Advances in nuclear power technologies are increasing needs within the nuclear industry supply chain. Savannah River National Laboratory’s decades of experience in nuclear materials processing makes the lab uniquely qualified to meet the current and future challenges of the nuclear fuel cycle.

A model is described for inelastic hadron/nucleus interactions at energies between 0.1 and 5 GeV. The model includes particle production, described by a previous model, and cascade proton and neutron emission, described via empirical formulas and nuclear excitation energy. All stable hadrons can be used as primary or secondary particles. The model is constructed via the Monte Carlo generation of complete events. Average multiplicities and single and double differential cross sections are compared with experimental data and find good agreement.
