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 Chair:
John H. Jackson
Alternate Chair:
Piyush Sabharwall
Session Organizer:
This panel will provide a brief overview on the cross-cutting research and development (R&D) that is being carried out at various national laboratories to enable technology demonstrations and successful deployment. The main objective of the R&D is to reduce uncertainty and risk in the design and development of microreactors to facilitate rapid technology commercialization. The work is broadly applicable to multiple reactor cooling/technology options to ensure that concepts can be licensed and deployed to meet specific use-case requirements.
