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.

Countering the nuclear workforce shortage narrative
James Chamberlain, director of the Nuclear, Utilities, and Energy Sector at Rullion, has declared that the nuclear industry will not have workforce challenges going forward. “It’s time to challenge the scarcity narrative,” he wrote in a recent online article. “Nuclear isn't short of talent; it’s short of imagination in how it attracts, trains, and supports the workforce of the future.”

A model that includes fission for predicting particle production spectra from medium-energy nucleon and pion collisions with uranium nuclei has been incorporated into the nucleon-meson transport code HETC. A variety of calculated results obtained with this revised code for protons incident on uranium targets have been obtained and are compared with experimental data and with the calculations of other investigators. For incident proton energies 1 GeV, the calculated results are in good agreement with several, but not all, of the available experiments.
