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.

TerraPower begins U.K. regulatory approval process
Seattle-based TerraPower signaled its interest this week in building its Natrium small modular reactor in the United Kingdom, the company announced.
TerraPower sent a letter to the U.K.’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, formally establishing its intention to enter the U.K. generic design assessment (GDA) process. This is TerraPower’s first step in deployment of its Natrium technology—a 345-MW sodium fast reactor coupled with a molten salt energy storage unit—on the international stage.

The bombardment of beryllium by carbon is investigated by a dynamic Monte Carlo simulation to demonstrate the complicated nature of this type of simple system by considering only collisional effects. Furthermore, the sputtering yield dependence on the incident angle is investigated for O-BeO, Be-Be, and C-Be systems at 3 keV. Experimental data on the influence of boron in carbon targets on the sputtering yield for bombardment by 1-keV deuterium are provided.
