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.

A method, for locating disturbances taking place inside an operating reactor by analyzing radiation emitted from the core, uses two gamma-ray collimator-detectors to selectively monitor information from specific regions of the core. An analog computer was programmed to perform a cross-power spectral density analysis of the information and to eliminate information not common to both channels. A periodic disturbance worth ∼ 50 millicents was used for the investigation. Disturbances located ∼ 4 in. inside the core were detectable with the present system. With moderate improvement in equipment, it is expected that perturbations located 1 ft inside cores of similar composition could be located.
