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.

Session Organizer:
Alternate Chair:
Brian C. Kiedrowski
Staff Producer:
Janice Lindegard (ANS)
The Current Issues in Computational Methods Roundtable will present five researchers who will give talks on several aspects of upcoming developments and challenges in code development and entertain audience questions. Points of emphasis will be the opportunities and demands of new machine architectures for Monte Carlo and Deterministic transport, applications of AI to high energy density science, and computational challenges for the nuclear sector. Speakers and titles: Erin Davis (LANL) "PARTISN: Enabling a 20th century Fortran transport code to meet 21st century" Kelli Humbird (LLNL) “Cognitive simulations for inertial confinement fusion” Alicia Klinvex (NNL) “Accelerating Transport Codes on Newer Architectures” Rachel Slaybaugh (UCB) “Optimal Operations of Advanced Reactors: how do we get there?” John Tramm (ANL) "More than a port: challenges in GPU-based MC and MOC particle transport"
