ANS seeks program evaluators for ABET accreditation
When ABET visits to universities for accreditation purposes, it’s crucial that a qualified nuclear expert performs the assessment of that school’s nuclear engineering, radiological engineering, and/or health physics programs. The Accreditation Policies and Procedures Committee (APPC) of the American Nuclear Society works to ensure that a program evaluator (PEV) from the Society leads these ABET assessments.

A dynamic method to study the release of fission gases from fuel specimens during irradiation is presented. The main purpose of the work is to show how a dynamic method can discriminate between diffusion and diffusion-trapping processes by observing the different behavior of the release rate transfer function, with respect to neutron flux oscillations, for the two models.
