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.

Fabrication milestone for INL’s MARVEL microreactor
A team from Idaho National Laboratory and the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) recently visited Carolina Fabricators Inc. (CFI), in West Columbia, S.C., to launch the fabrication process for the primary coolant system of the MARVEL microreactor. Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA), which manages INL, awarded the CFI contract in January.

Application of computerized tomography (CT) in two-phase flows has been discussed in the existing literature. Development of a fast, but simple, algorithm for reconstructing the density p or the absorption coefficient µ is attempted. The algorithm, involving radial polynomials (RAP), has been tested using simulated data for radially symmetric bubbly and annular two-phase flows. The RAP algorithm can also be applied in nonsymmetric flow situations, provided the information required is the cross-sectionally averaged density. The results indicate RAP to be a fast and accurate method for CT reconstructions involving an air-water flow system.
