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.

Two previous correlations of the change in ductile-to-brittle transition temperature of A302B steel with neutron exposure have been supplemented by an updated correlation that employs newer cross-section informationfor neutron spectral calculations and for analyzing monitor activations. An International Atomic Energy Agency specialists’ recommended damage model for secondary displacements and an improved treatment of energy transfer to primary knock-on atoms due to neutron inelastic scattering have also been used. Consistent application of the previous and updated correlations at the inner edge of a typical pressurized water reactor vessel results in no significant differences in anticipated change in transition temperature.
