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.

Measurements have been made to determine the effect of mutual shielding on the resonance absorption of neutrons by tightly packed thorium oxide lattice pins. From these measurements, correction factors have been obtained for reducing the results of single-pin resonance integral measurements to the effective lattice values. A comparison of the experimental results with the predictions of the theory of Dancoff and Ginsburg is included.
