Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

For the opening Plenary for the Advanced Reactor Safety Conference, we have invited four distinguished leaders in advanced reactor safety to talk about where we go in the future. While the conference focuses on current and recent past work in ARS, we know there are issues and gaps that we as an ARS community need to address. The Panel includes Anna Gomez-Cobo the Head of the Safety Assessment Section at the IAEA who will talk about upcoming activities and interests at the IAEA, and Dr. Han-Gon Kim, President of the Innovative SMR Development Agency who will discuss issues related to SMR development in Korea. In addition, Anders Gilbertson, Senior Project Manager from the NRC division of Advanced Reactors, and Craig Stover, Senior Program Manager from EPRI’s Advanced Nuclear Technology Program, will discuss challenges in licensing and building the numerous advanced reactor designs being developed in the U.S.
Additionally, we will be honoring Dr. Ian Wall by presenting him with the Theo (Tommy) Thompson Award for lifetime contributions in the field of nuclear reactor safety.
