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.

Analyses of an extensive series of reaction-rate measurements done recently in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) runs 50G and 50H were performed with transport theory and diffusion theory codes using detailed representations of the loadings in XY, RZ, and XYZ geometry and broad-group cross sections derived from the ENDF/B-I and -III data files. It was found possible to predict the measured relative reaction rates quite accurately within the core region; however, there are substantial differences in the radial blanket and axial reflector regions. Analyses of the absolute reaction-rate measurements in EBR-II run 50H have provided additional evidence that the reactor operates ≅ 9% below the nominal power level of 62.5 MW(th). Differences were observed between the calculated reaction rates using the ENDF/B-I and -III data files for the stainless-steel/sodium axial reflector regions in the EBR-II
