ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

A description is given of the analysis of the 241Pu neutron cross sections in the resolved resonance region at Oak Ridge National Laboratory using the multilevel, multichannel Reich-Moore code SAMMY. The resonance parameters were obtained in the 0- to 300-eV energy range. The statistical properties of the parameters are discussed. Tabulated and graphical comparisons between the experimental data and the calculated cross sections are given. The results are available in ENDF/B-V format and are proposed for the evaluated data libraries ENDF/B-VI and JEF2.
