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.

A new and improved procedure was developed for determining leachabilities of proposed radioactive waste forms.Finely divided glass samples are leached in flowing deionized water; leached ions are continuously sorbed on ion exchange resins to control ionic quality. Sorbed ions are eluted from the resin columns for atomic absorption analyses. Leachabilities measured by this procedure are lower and more consistent than those made in stagnant water without continuous ionic control.
