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.

Theoretical methods for computing intracell thermal-neutron densities, disadvantage factors and thermal utilizations are presented. The topics discussed are the computation of the neutron spectra in a lattice, anisotropic scattering by water, the cylindrical cell effect, correlation of spectral moments and average one-group cross sections, one-group transport-theory methods, scattering models of water, and comparison of various theories with experiment. The lattices investigated are water moderated with slightly enriched uranium metal and oxide fuel.
