The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, the independent agency responsible for ensuring that Department of Energy facilities are protective of public health and safety, announced that the board’s acting chairman, Thomas Summers, has concluded his service with the agency, having completed his second term as a board member on October 18.
Summers’ departure leaves Patricia Lee, who joined the DNFSB after being confirmed by the Senate in July 2024, as the board’s only remaining member and acting chair. Lee’s DNFSB board term ends in October 2027.

A thermoluminescent method for displaying thermal-neutron images is described. A sheet of 6 LiF, exposed to the imaging neutrons for periods as long as is necessary to capture the image, can be made to reproduce the image by means of the light emission produced by heating at anytime after the exposure. The excellent storage capability of this detection method makes it attractive for use with relatively low intensity neutron radiographic beams.
