Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

The IAEA targets seafood contaminants and plastic pollution in oceans
Oceans link all the continents of the world, and fish don’t respect boundary lines. So it’s fitting that a global organization—the International Atomic Energy Agency—is helping nations detect and monitor both plastic pollution and biotoxins in marine algae that can lead to outbreaks of contaminated seafood.

Neutron spectra are measured by the time-of-flight method at laboratory angles from 15 to 120 degfor the reaction Ag(l4N,n) at 50 MeV/nucleon. All spectra are fitted with a moving-source model. The cross-section dependences on bombarding energy and on projectile mass are investigated by comparison with published neutron data from the reactions Ag(14N,n) at 35 MeV/nucleon and Ag(36Ar,n) at 35 MeV/nucleon. Application to biological hazard estimation is anticipated.
