Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

College students help develop waste-measuring device at Hanford
A partnership between Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) and Washington State University has resulted in the development of a device to measure radioactive and chemical tank waste at the Hanford Site. WRPS is the contractor at Hanford for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

The neutron-induced nuclear reactions of 46,47,48,49,50,natTi are calculated and analyzed for the CENDL library. First, one set of optimized optical model potential parameters for n + 46,47,48,49,50,natTi below 20 MeV is obtained. Based on these parameters, the complete neutron data are computed though the UNF and DWUCK4 codes for each of the Ti isotopes and the natural nuclide. All of the theoretical results are compared with the experimental data, together with the updated evaluations of other evaluation libraries. In addition, we verify the new results through the benchmark integral measurements from OKTAVIAN.
