ANS, UCOR sign MOU for workforce development program
The American Nuclear Society and United Cleanup Oak Ridge have signed a memorandum of understanding that establishes a framework for collaboration to advance ANS workforce training and certification programs serving the nuclear industry.
According to the document, UCOR will provide “operational insights and subject matter expertise to inform ANS’s professional development and credentialing offerings, including the Certified Nuclear Professional [CNP] program.” The collaboration will strengthen UCOR’s workforce development efforts while advancing ANS’s mission to sustain and expand the national nuclear workforce pipeline and capabilities.

Reactivity feedback is an important indicator in the analysis of the dynamic behavior of a nuclear reactor. The roddrop perturbation method is used at EBR-II to produce time-dependent power data which are pro cessed with an on-line digital data reduction procedure to produce time-dependent reactivity feedback; reactivity feedback models are defined in the time and frequency domains. This streamlined procedure has resulted in decreased data reduction time and man power requirements along with increased data integrity.
