ANS panel discussion looks at nuclear’s place in maritime, energy, medicine, space
The applications of nuclear energy extend beyond providing power to the electrical grid. Advanced nuclear technologies may soon have new applications in oil and gas facilities, in hospitals and clinics, on the open seas, and on the moon.
A June 1 executive session, “How Nuclear Technologies will Shape the Future Energy Economy,” at the American Nuclear Society’s Annual Conference allowed experts have an open discussion on the future of nuclear advancements in multiple sectors.

Tritiated process water is monitored by detecting the D2O component via the 2D(γ,n)1H reaction. A probe containing a 1- to 7-mCi 24Na (15-h) gamma source and six 3He neutron detectors produces and monitors the 2D(γ, n)1H reaction. A variety of probe configurations were examined for D2O detection sensitivity. The corresponding detection limits range from 6 to 280 µl for D2O droplets and 1 to 13 µl/cm for D2O streams, when 10-min neutron counting with a 1-mCi gamma source is used. Results from two field applications illustrate the utility of the monitor.
