ANS continues to expand its certificate offerings
It’s almost been a full year since the American Nuclear Society held its inaugural section of Nuclear 101, a comprehensive certificate course on the basics of the nuclear field. Offered at the 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo, that first sold-out course marked a massive milestone in the Society’s expanding work in professional development and certification.

Cross sections have been measured for the 14N(n, p0) reaction from 0.5 to 7.0 MeV and for the (n, α0) and (n, α1) reactions from 1 to 15 MeV and from 4 to 15 MeV, respectively. The data were obtained using a gaseous scintillator containing nitrogen and xenon mixtures. A Linac was used as a pulsed white neutron source with a 29-m flight path. The results of the measurement are compared to the current evaluated file for nitrogen; agreement is good for neutron energies below 8 MeV, but the measurement is substantially higher than the evaluation for neutron energies near 10 MeV.
