University of Michigan displays nuclear artifacts donated by ANS member
Mobley
American Nuclear Society member John Mobley IV recently donated some historical nuclear artifacts and memorabilia to the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences (NERS) at the University of Michigan.
Mobley is a nuclear engineering education researcher at the University of Michigan. Among his roles at ANS, he is currently the secretary of Young Members Group; the vice chair of the Education, Training and Workforce Development Division; and the vice chair of Student Sections Committee.
He said he chose to donate part of his collection to NERS because the University of Michigan is broadly committed to nuclear outreach at the local, state, and federal levels. The university is home of the first ANS Student Section, which turned 70 this year.

Packed-column experiments with iron dust of 40 to 60 mesh (Fisher 1–57) showed an excellent uptake of pertechnetate ions from alkaline (pH ∼ 8.5) high-nitrate (100 to 250 g/ℓ) solutions at flow rates measured in bed volumes (BVs) of between 0.05 and 0.15 BV/min. The columns worked well until they became plugged by rusting after several hundred bed volumes of solution were flowed through (330 to 900 BV). Similar tests using organic ion-exchange resins, such as Dowex SRB-OH and Reillex HP and Reillex HPQ, and the same alkaline high-nitrate solutions showed breakthroughs after 20 to 50 BV were passed.
