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.

Fourteen different critical systems of plutonium-uranium homogeneous mixtures are arranged in a format amenable for use in validating calculational techniques and checking nuclear data. Each experimental system is completely defined under a single benchmark number. For the data that permit it, multiple critical dimensions are given for each fuel composition and geometry. Wherever possible, experimentally determined correction factors are provided for reducing the complexity of the critical assemblies.
