Division Spotlight
Education, Training & Workforce Development
The Education, Training & Workforce Development Division provides communication among the academic, industrial, and governmental communities through the exchange of views and information on matters related to education, training and workforce development in nuclear and radiological science, engineering, and technology. Industry leaders, education and training professionals, and interested students work together through Society-sponsored meetings and publications, to enrich their professional development, to educate the general public, and to advance nuclear and radiological science and engineering.

Candidates for leadership provide statements: ANS Board of Directors
With the annual ANS election right around the corner, American Nuclear Society members will be going to the polls to vote for a vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and members-at-large for the Board of Directors. In January, Nuclear News published statements from candidates for vice president/president-elect and treasurer. This month, we are featuring statements from each nominee for the Board of Directors.

The compatibility of tungsten, W-0.9wt%Cb, W-10wt%Re, W-25wt%Re, TZM (Mo-0.5wt%Ti-0.08 wt%Zr), Mo-50wt%Re, and rhenium in static lithium was determined. Exposures were at 2500, 2800, and 3000°F for periods of 100 and 1000 h. Exposures were conducted in TZM containers for all alloys tested. The results obtained must be viewed in light of the dissimilar capsule employed. The tungsten-base materials were not attacked by lithium after 100- or 1000-h exposure at 2500°F. At 2800°F, all of the tungsten-base materials exhibited varying degrees of surface dissolution and grain-boundary penetration. TZM and Mo-50wt%Re alloys were resistant to attack by lithium at up to 3000°F for 100- and 1000-h exposure. Unalloyed rhenium underwent dissimilar metal interaction while immersed in lithium in TZM test capsules for 1000 h at 2500°F and 100 h at 3000°F. Molybdenum was transferred from the TZM corrosion capsule to the rhenium where alloying occurred.
