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.

ANS designates Armour Research Foundation Reactor as Nuclear Historic Landmark
The American Nuclear Society presented the Illinois Institute of Technology with a plaque last week to officially designate the Armour Research Foundation Reactor a Nuclear Historic Landmark, following the Society’s decision to confer the status onto the reactor in September 2024.

An experimental test of several equivalence relations for effective resonance integrals is obtained from measurements of U238 resonance escape probability for lattices of the TRX critical facility, and measurements of the U238 resonance integrals of isolated rods of UO2 and uranium metal. The TRX lattices were H2O-moderated and composed of cylindrical, aluminum-clad fuel rods of slightly enriched uranium metal or UO2. The measurements are in agreement with two forms of equivalence among lattice and isolated rod resonance integrals for a given fuel composition. The equivalence between resonance integrals for fuel rods of different compositions (IT and UO2) does not appear to be as good.
