      Reactor Physics

      Reactor Physics

      The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

      Christmas Night

      Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
      No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.

      All devices were plugged in by the chimney with care
      With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.
