NEUP honors young ANS members with R&D awards
Each year, the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) recognizes graduate and undergraduate students for their innovative nuclear energy research. The winners of the Innovations in Nuclear Energy Research and Development Student Competition (INSC) receive honoraria along with travel and conference opportunities, including the chance to present their publications at the annual American Nuclear Society Winter Conference & Expo.

Measurements have been made of the cadmium ratios of indium foils for thicknesses ranging from 0.012 mg/cm2 to approximately 100 mg/cm2. Correction factors are presented both graphically and in tabular form to determine the ratio of thermal to resonance neutron densities from measurements made with an indium foil of any thickness up to 100 mg/cm2.
