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.

The aging austenitic stainless steel Cr16Ni15Mo3Ti1 is shown to possess a high resistance to the radiation void formation under irradiation with fast neutrons (60 dpa, 753K). The influence of tritium introduced from the gaseous phase and radiogenic helium on the mechanical properties is analysed.
