Division Spotlight
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

An integral transport equation-based industrial radiography simulation code is parallelized using the Message Passing Interface standard on computers with both distributed- and shared-memory architectures. The algorithm involves partitioning of the problem domain into regions that are connected to each other through interface conditions. This results in a simultaneous set of integral transport equations. Each equation in the set is assigned to a different processor in the platform. The new algorithm is subjected to scalability tests in both cluster and shared-memory architectures for a varying number of processors with different problem domain partition strategies. The results show a high level of scalability with favorable results in both architectures.
