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.

Judge temporarily blocks DOE’s move to slash university research funding
A group of universities led by the American Association of Universities (AAU) acted swiftly to oppose a policy action by the Department of Energy that would cut the funds it pays to universities for the indirect costs of research under DOE grants. The group filed suit Monday, April 14, challenging a what it termed a “flagrantly unlawful action” that could “devastate scientific research at America’s universities.”
By Wednesday, the U.S. District Court judge hearing the case issued a temporary restraining order effective nationwide, preventing the DOE from implementing the policy or terminating any existing grants.

In a basic study on reducing a conventional atmospheric detritiation system (ADS) to a small one, performances of H2(+HT), H2O(+HTO), and N2 (or air) permeating through a gas separation membrane (GSM) module were numerically analyzed. The calculations were carried out in (3 × 2 + 1) patterns of cross, countercurrent, and cocurrent flows based on the differential and plate models and the complete mixing flow. Previous experimental results of the H2/H2O/N2(air) three-component system were found to be well correlated by the differential cross-flow model. Applications of the GSM to the ADS were investigated, and the effectiveness of using the GSM in place of the first detritiation system of the ADS was discussed.
