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 comparison was made of after-shutdown primary piping radiation levels between Shipping-port PWR first core and second core operation. Due to changes in materials of construction, a higher power core, and other design parameters, it was thought that the radiation buildup would be different during second core operation. It was found that the radiation level due to 58Co was greater during second core than first core due to the use of NiCrFe Alloy 600 steam generator tubing. All the other factors were found to essentially cancel each other.
