ACRS seeking new committee member
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) is currently seeking qualified candidates to fill an open committee member position. Applications for the position will be accepted until July 30. The ACRS is the world’s oldest organization devoted to reactor safety, and the group reports directly to the NRC’s commissioners in order to provide independent technical reviews of and advice on a wide variety of nuclear topics.

Calculated results are presented of the variation with position in the experimental volume of a Li(D,n) neutron radiation damage facility of the damage energy and helium and hydrogen production in copper and in niobium when this volume is partially filled with experimental samples. At a given position in the experimental volume for either copper or niobium, the ratio of the damaged energy with no absorber to the damaged energy with a 50-mm-thick iron absorber or a 100-mm-thick carbon absorber is never >3 and in most positions is <2. The neutron nonelastic cross-section data at the higher energies (>15 to 20 MeV) needed to carry out the transport calculations were obtained from the intranuclear-cascade model of nuclear reactions.
