A webinar, and a new opportunity to take ANS’s CNP Exam
Applications are now open for the fall 2025 testing period for the American Nuclear Society’s Certified Nuclear Professional (CNP) exam. Applications are being accepted through October 14, and only three testing sessions are offered per year, so it is important to apply soon. The test will be administered from November 12 through December 16. To check eligibility and schedule your exam, click here.
In addition, taking place tomorrow (September 19) from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. (CDT), ANS will host a new webinar, “How to Become a Certified Nuclear Professional.” More information is available below in this article.

The energy dependence of some experimentally derived neutron absorption and fission cross sections of 235U and 239Pu are compared with the ENDF/B-IV results over the energy range from 0.005 to 1.0 e V. Wescott g factors are presented as calculated from the experimental data. The experimental results published previously were normalized to ENDF/B-III values for σf and σa.
