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.

An instrument for measuring the net reactivity input to a reactor system has been designed and used at the Halden Boiling Water Reactor (HBWR), Norway, and at the Ågesta power reactor R3, Sweden. The design is based upon extensive use of passive networks. The instrument has been carefully tested. Test results are presented as gain and phase curves for reactivity to power transfer functions and are compared with the theoretical ones. The agreement is quite satisfactory. The operational experience is good.
