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.

A method is developed for calculating effective neutron cross sections in the resolved resonance groups of homogeneous mixtures of cylindrical cells in regular reactor lattices. A rigorous treatment of the nucleonic and neutronic problems provides accurate numerical solutions with detailed dependence in energy and space for both Doppler-broadened cross sections and self-shielded neutron fluxes. The common simplifying approximations are not introduced, so that the method is used as a reference to analyze some of the detailed self-shielding effects that are commonly ignored or approximated in applications ranging from homogeneous mixtures of different resonant nuclides to cylindrical cells with nonuniform temperatures and concentrations within the fuel.
