Division Spotlight
Education, Training & Workforce Development
The Education, Training & Workforce Development Division provides communication among the academic, industrial, and governmental communities through the exchange of views and information on matters related to education, training and workforce development in nuclear and radiological science, engineering, and technology. Industry leaders, education and training professionals, and interested students work together through Society-sponsored meetings and publications, to enrich their professional development, to educate the general public, and to advance nuclear and radiological science and engineering.

Grant awarded for advanced reactor workforce needs in southeast U.S.
North Carolina State University and the Electric Power Research Institute have been awarded a $500,000 grant by the NC Collaboratory for “An Assessment to Define Advanced Reactor Workforce Needs,” a project that aims to investigate job needs to help enable new nuclear development and deployment in North Carolina and surrounding areas.

Cross sections were measured for the 44Ca(n,)41Ar, 45Sc(n,)42K, and 51V(n,)48Sc reactions at neutron energies from 13.6 to 14.9 MeV. The neutrons were produced via the 3H(d,n)4He reaction on a neutron generator using a solid TiT target. The activation technique was used, and induced gamma activities were measured by a high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometer. Corrections were made for the effects of gamma-ray attenuation, random coincidence (pulse pileup), coincidence summing, dead time, neutron flux fluctuations, and low-energy neutrons. Statistical model calculations taking into account precompound effects were performed for all the reactions investigated, and the experimental results were reproduced well except for the (n,) reaction on the 45Sc target. Also, comparisons with the recent experimental data showed good agreement.
