ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

Neutron radiography of dynamic processes is investigated. It is found that resonance-converter neutron imaging represents a promising technique for high-speed radiography. Theoretical results, obtained using edge-spread function analysis, were found to be in very good agreement with experimental observations. It is concluded that mathematical modeling can be used effectively to predict the dominant image quality characteristics of neutron radiographs of very fast transient processes.
