Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

Thermal-neutron steady-state spectra, in the presence of a 1/E epithermal source of neutrons, calculated in pure and poisoned light water assemblies, using the recent neutron scattering kernel of water suggested by Bansal et al., are found to agree with the recent experimental results of Abbate et al. The effect of different source terms on the steady-state spectra has also been studied.
