Nuclear News 40 Under 40: The wait is over
Following the enthusiastic response from the nuclear community in 2024 for the inaugural NN 40 Under 40, the Nuclear News team knew we had to take up the difficult task in 2025 of turning it into an annual event—though there was plenty of uncertainty as to how the community would receive a second iteration this year. That uncertainty was unfounded, clearly, as the tight-knit nuclear community embraced the chance to celebrate its up-and-coming generation of scientists, engineers, and policy makers who are working to grow the influence of this oft-misunderstood technology.

A hybrid-type female computational model was constructed by combining the tomographic voxel model of the ATOM adult female physical phantom with the mathematical organ models of the MIRD5 stylized phantom. The constructed model has 13 internal organs: 5 organs from the ATOM phantom and the other 8 organs from the MIRD5 phantom. The model was employed in Monte Carlo dose calculations with MCNPX to calculate organ doses, and the calculated values were compared with the values of Regina for reference external irradiation conditions.
