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.

Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

A theory of multicomponent liquid hydrogen solutions is presented which corrects for nonidealities in vapor-liquid equilibria. The second virial coefficient is used to represent gas nonideality, and a binary interaction parameter is used for liquid nonideality. The latter is the primary contribution for the deviation from Raoult's Law of H2-D2 solutions between 15 and 27 K. Estimates are made for the parameters needed to describe the D2-DT-T2 solutions of hydrogen fusion interest.
