ANS and the U.K.’s NI announce reciprocal membership agreement
With President Trump on a state visit to the U.K., in part to sign a landmark new agreement on U.S.-U.K. nuclear collaboration, a flurry of transatlantic partnerships and deals bridging the countries’ nuclear sectors have been announced.
The American Nuclear Society is taking an active role in this bridge-building by forming a reciprocal membership agreement with the U.K.’s Nuclear Institute.

The influence of noise on the ability to determine edge locations with radiographs is studied theoretically and experimentally. Four imaging systems having different spread functions are analyzed. For each case the direct approach and the derivative method are utilized. It is shown that an optimal pixel size exists for which the edge location is found with minimum error.
