Wanted: Information leading to a neutron source for fusion energy R&D
The Department of Energy’s Office of Science published a notice in the March 27 Federal Register calling for input on technological approaches to a Fusion Prototypic Neutron Source (FPNS) for materials irradiation research under DOE-SC’s Fusion Energy Sciences program, as well as partnership models that could accelerate the construction and delivery of the facility. The request for information (RFI) calls for responses by May 11.

Description
This monograph provides useful information for the body of engineers, scientists, and students who wish to use reactivity measurements as a tool for 1) deriving information about the mechanism of interaction of neutrons with various materials introduced into a nuclear reactor, 2) determining certain properties, e.g., cross sections, of the materials, and 3) determining characteristics of the reactor.This most complete and in-depth treatment of small-sample reactivity measurements in both thermal and fast reactor systems is based upon fundamentals as well as the inclusion of many practical applications and examples, making the book useful to experts as well as those having little familiarity with this field.
