Nuclear Science and Engineering Education Sourcebook 2016 Nuclear Science and Engineering Education Sourcebook 2016 American Nuclear Society US Department of Energy Nuclear Science & Engineering Education Sourcebook 2016 North American Edition American Nuclear Society Education, Training, and Workforce Division US Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy Editor and Founder John Gilligan Professor of Nuclear Engineering North Carolina State University Assistant Editor Sherry Bailey North Carolina State University Version 5.16 *Front Cover Photo – NCSU PULSTAR Reactor* Welcome to the 2016 Edition of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Education (NS&EE) Sourcebook. We have evolved and improved! The core mission of the Sourcebook has not changed, however. Our purpose is to facilitate interaction among faculty, students, industry, and government agencies to accomplish nuclear research, teaching and service activities. Since 1986 we have compiled critical information on nuclear engineering enrollments, degrees, and faculty expertise in printed and electronic formats. There has been much growth and change in the nuclear community in recent years and is evidenced in the 2016 NS & EE Sourcebook. We have gone to a new web based input format that allows quick changes to the Sourcebook and the capability to do ranking and sort manipulations in a spreadsheet environment as the data is displayed. We will publish a PDF version of the Sourcebook. This year we will also include programs that are new and growing, which might include undergraduate curricula with a nuclear energy minor or graduate programs that offer a track or certificate option. We will list only faculty involved in the nuclear options in all of these cases. In general we list faculty that have at least a budgeted 25% appointment in nuclear activities. Other nuclear energy or related programs can be found under the listings for the ANS Student Branches and University Reactors. The Sourcebook data will be placed on the web at the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) site and on the DOE-NE website. Copies of the Sourcebook will be distributed to academic Department Heads, and libraries, as well as key industry, society and government officials. A limited number of extra printed copies can be requested in cases where web access is limited or inconvenient. The Sourcebook is a publication by the Education, Training and Workforce Division of the American Nuclear Society with the support of the Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy. Appreciation is expressed to the Executive Committee of the ETWD of the ANS for their encouragement for this project. Special thanks go to the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy and the NEUP Integration Office at the Idaho National Lab for providing support and a web site home for the NS&EE Sourcebook. We would also like to acknowledge the diligent work of Ms. Sherry Bailey for accumulating the Sourcebook information and for maintenance of the Sourcebook website. We are excited to present the 2016 Edition of the NS&EE Sourcebook (Version 5.16) available in PDF file format and on the web at www.neup.gov .

  • 小型飛翔体／海外 ［Format 2］ Technical Catalog Category
    小型飛翔体／海外 ［Format 2］ Technical Catalog Category Airborne contamination sensor Title Depth Evaluation of Entrained Products (DEEP) Proposed by Create Technologies Ltd & Costain Group PLC １．DEEP is a sensor analysis software for analysing contamination. DEEP can distinguish between surface contamination and internal / absorbed contamination. The software measures contamination depth by analysing distortions in the gamma spectrum. The method can be applied to data gathered using any spectrometer. Because DEEP provides a means of discriminating surface contamination from other radiation sources, DEEP can be used to provide an estimate of surface contamination without physical sampling. DEEP is a real-time method which enables the user to generate a large number of rapid contamination assessments- this data is complementary to physical samples, providing a sound basis for extrapolation from point samples. It also helps identify anomalies enabling targeted sampling startegies. DEEP is compatible with small airborne spectrometer/ processor combinations, such as that proposed by the ARM-U project – please refer to the ARM-U proposal for more details of the air vehicle. Figure 1: DEEP system core components are small, light, low power and can be integrated via USB, serial or Ethernet interfaces. 小型飛翔体／海外 Figure 2: DEEP prototype software ２．Past experience (plants in Japan, overseas plant, applications in other industries, etc) Create technologies is a specialist R&D firm with a focus on imaging and sensing in the nuclear industry. Createc has developed and delivered several novel nuclear technologies, including the N-Visage gamma camera system.

  • Royal Society of Chemistry Input to the Ad Hoc Nuclear
    ROYAL SOCIETY OF CHEMISTRY INPUT TO THE AD HOC NUCLEAR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) was pleased to hear of the instigation of the Ad Hoc Nuclear Research and Development Advisory Board (the Board) following the findings of the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee Inquiry ‘Nuclear Research and Development Capabilities’.1,2 The RSC is the largest organisation in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences. Supported by a network of 47,000 members worldwide and an internationally acclaimed publishing business, its activities span education and training, conferences and science policy, and the promotion of the chemical sciences to the public. This document represents the views of the RSC. The RSC has a duty under its Royal Charter "to serve the public interest" by acting in an independent advisory capacity, and it is in this spirit that this submission is made. To provide input to the Board the RSC has performed a wide consultation with the chemical science community, including members of both our Radiochemistry and Energy Sector Interest Groups and also our Environment Sustainability and Energy Division. September 2012 The Role of Chemistry in a Civil Nuclear Strategy 1 Introduction Chemistry and chemical knowledge is essential in nuclear power generation and nuclear waste management. It is essential that a UK civil nuclear strategy recognises the crucial role that chemistry plays, both in research and innovation and in the development of a strong skills pipeline. As the RSC previously articulated in our response to the House of Lords Inquiry, 3 nuclear power is an important component of our current energy mix.

Kinga, a Nuclear Science and Engineering Program, Colorado School of Mines (CSM), 1500 Illinois St, Hill Hall, 80401 Golden, CO, USA b Subdivisão de Dados Nucleares - Instituto de Estudos Avançados (IEAv), Trevo Coronel Aviador José Alberto Albano do Amarante, n 1, 12228-001 São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil ABSTRACT A LEU-fueled space reactor would avoid the security concerns inherent with Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) fuel and could be attractive to signatory countries of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) or commercial interests. The HEU-fueled Kilowatt Reactor Using Stirling Technology (KRUSTY) serves as a basis for a similar reactor fueled with LEU fuel. Based on MCNP6™ neutronics performance estimates, the size of a 5 kWe reactor fueled with 19.75 wt% enriched uranium-10 wt% molybdenum alloy fuel is adjusted to match the excess reactivity of KRUSTY. Then, zirconium hydride moderator is added to the core in four different configurations (a homogeneous fuel/moderator mixture and spherical, disc, and helical fuel geometries) to reduce the mass of uranium required to produce the same excess reactivity, decreasing the size of the reactor. The lowest mass reactor with a given moderator represents a balance between the reflector thickness and core diameter needed to maintain the multiplication factor equal to 1.035, with a H/D ratio of 1.81.

  • Analysis on the Thermal Striping and Thermal Shock of the Lower Head of Central Measuring Shroud in a Fast Reactor
    Transactions, SMiRT-25 Charlotte, NC, USA, August 4-9, 2019 Division III Analysis on the Thermal Striping and Thermal Shock of the Lower Head of Central Measuring Shroud in a Fast Reactor Zheng Shu 1, Lu Daogang 1, Cao Qiong 1 1School of Nuclear Science and Engineering, Beijing Key Laboratory of Passive Nuclear Safety Technology for Nuclear Energy, North China Electric Power University, Beijing 102206, China ([email protected]) ABSTRACT The central measuring shroud, as an important in-vessel component, contains the conduits of control rod and a variety of measuring equipment. The distance between the core outlet and the lower head of central measuring shroud (LHCMS), which is located above the core outlet, is only 500mm. Therefore, the LHCMS is affected by the core coolant for a long period, especially the temperature effects of the following two types. Firstly, under the operating condition of the sodium-cooled fast reactor, the uneven distribution of the core power causes the phenomenon of thermal striping, which may cause large stress. In addition, under the scram condition, the coolant temperature at the core outlet is sharply reduced due to the decrease of the core power, inducing the phenomenon of thermal shock that may induce large stress. Therefore, stress analysis of the LHCMS under the operating condition and scram condition is very necessary. In the paper, the simulation first established the finite element model of the LHCMS, and then calculated the thermal stress of the LHCMS according to the temperature fluctuation curve and the scram temperature curve. The results show that the temperature field under thermal shock changes dramatically with time, while the temperature field under thermal striping changes relatively slowly with time.

    IAEA-TECDOC-1168 Compilation and evaluation of fission yield nuclear data Final report of a co-ordinated research project 1991–1996 December 2000 The originating Section of this publication in the IAEA was: Nuclear Data Section International Atomic Energy Agency Wagramer Strasse 5 P.O. Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria COMPILATION AND EVALUATION OF FISSION YIELD NUCLEAR DATA IAEA, VIENNA, 2000 IAEA-TECDOC-1168 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2000 Printed by the IAEA in Austria December 2000 FOREWORD Fission product yields are required at several stages of the nuclear fuel cycle and are therefore included in all large international data files for reactor calculations and related applications. Such files are maintained and disseminated by the Nuclear Data Section of the IAEA as a member of an international data centres network. Users of these data are from the fields of reactor design and operation, waste management and nuclear materials safeguards, all of which are essential parts of the IAEA programme. In the 1980s, the number of measured fission yields increased so drastically that the manpower available for evaluating them to meet specific user needs was insufficient. To cope with this task, it was concluded in several meetings on fission product nuclear data, some of them convened by the IAEA, that international co-operation was required, and an IAEA co-ordinated research project (CRP) was recommended. This recommendation was endorsed by the International Nuclear Data Committee, an advisory body for the nuclear data programme of the IAEA. As a consequence, the CRP on the Compilation and Evaluation of Fission Yield Nuclear Data was initiated in 1991, after its scope, objectives and tasks had been defined by a preparatory meeting.
