Division Spotlight
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.

Fermilab center renamed after late particle physicist Helen Edwards
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s Integrated Engineering Research Center, which officially opened in January 2024, is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center. The name was changed to honor the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the lab’s Tevatron accelerator and was part of the Water Resources Development Act signed by President Biden in December 2024, according to a Fermilab press release.

The Tritium Laboratory from NIPNE, Romania has been commissioned as part of Radioisotope Research and Production Center in 1976. The Tritium Laboratory is in the refurbishment process. A project POS Priority Axis 2 and several national research projects financially support the upgrading works, which involves dismantling of the used equipment and facilities.In this paper the preliminary refurbishment activities are described as follows:- Radiological features for inventory of radioactive and non-radioactive wastes resulted from the cleanup activities- Decommissioning of the used equipments (glass tritium manifolds, facility for removal of labile tritium, facilities for radio chromatographic assays and endurance tests)- cleaning up of boxes and hoods.The new facilities have been introduced in cleaned boxes and radiochemical hoods.
