•The cooling flow rate for the HFIR HB-1 beam tube has been slowly degrading over time •The HB-1 beam flow has now crossed the previously established low-flow alarm limit of 15 gallon/min •This required a new HB-1 flow safety calculation to support
•A global background radiation source and cesium threat source were simulated in the Fort Indiantown Gap training facility model
•Excellent agreement was found between Shift and MAVRIC and various detector locations throughout the model
•This validation bu
Background and Motivation
Nuclear data describing α-particle interactions on light nuclei are essential for calculating (α,n) neutron emissions
Currently, in codes like SOURCES4C, there is no uncertainty data to estimate neutron source intensities or

Nearly 100 commercial nuclear reactors supply one-fifth of America’s energy.
Moving advanced nuclear reactors from the drawing board to the field was the focus of the Advanced Reactors Technical Summit III, hosted by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and attended by 180 experts from industry, government an
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory will support two new DOE-funded projects to explore, develop and demonstrate advanced nuclear reactor technologies. The projects announced Jan.
The International Union for Pure and Applied Chemistry has announced formal verification of four new chemical elements, recognizing the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and its collaborators for the discovery of elements 115 and 117.
The Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), which ran a brief four years in the 1960s but earned an enduring legacy as an innovative reactor technology concept, this year marks a half century since its June 1965 startup.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is marking the 50th anniversary of the startup of its Molten Salt Reactor Experiment this month. A workshop on molten salt reactor technologies Oct. 15-16 at ORNL will bring together government representatives, U.S.
