Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Virginia utility considers SMRs
Dominion Energy Virginia has issued a request for proposals from leading nuclear companies to study the feasibility of putting a small modular reactor at its North Anna nuclear power plant.
While the utility says it is not a commitment to build an SMR at the site, the RFP is “an important first step in evaluating the technology and the North Anna site to support Dominion Energy customers’ future energy needs consistent with the company’s most recent Integrated Resource Plan.”

A design verification system for sequence diagrams ofpower plants has been developed. Its main function is to verify component connectivities in power plant control systems. The verification is achieved through both a symbolic comparison of sequence diagrams against their corresponding one-line diagrams and by reference to design knowledge. The verification of actual nuclear power plant sequence diagrams confirms the system’s practical effectiveness.
