Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.
Meeting Spotlight
Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX)
September 8–11, 2025
Atlanta, GA|Atlanta Marriott Marquis
Standards Program
The Standards Committee is responsible for the development and maintenance of voluntary consensus standards that address the design, analysis, and operation of components, systems, and facilities related to the application of nuclear science and technology.

Cross sections of (n,p) and (n,np +pn + d) reactions have been measured at neutron energies near 14 MeV for 46,47,48,50Ti, 52,53Cr, 54,56,57,58 Fe, 59 Co, 50,60,61,62Ni, and 64,66,67,68Zn by means of the activation technique relative to the well-known 27Al(n,p)27Mg or 27Al (n,α) 24Na reaction cross sections. The samples are made of natural elements mixed with aluminum oxide (Al2O3), both in powder form. Gamma rays emitted by the residual radioactive nuclei are detected with a Ge(Li) detector in close contact with the sample. The data are compared with recently measured and calculated cross sections.
