This committee is responsible for the development of standards for the location, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of all nuclear reactors for training and research, both as mechanisms for investigating reactors per se and as sources of radiation, and excluding reactors designed for the production of electrical energy; standards for the location, design, construction, operation and maintenance of critical facilities; standards for calculational methods and computer codes for use in nuclear-reactor and reactor-physics calculations, including shielding. Input into calculations and codes, such as nuclear cross sections are included in this scope.
N17 consensus committee managers six subcommittees:
- ANS-1, Conduct of Critical Experiments
- ANS-6, Radiation Protection and Shielding
- ANS-10, Mathematics and Computation
- ANS-14, Fast Pulse Reactors
- ANS-15, Operation of Research Design
- ANS-19, Physics of Reactor Design

ANS-19 Seeks Working Group Volunteers
|
|
Subcommittee ANS-19, The Physics of Reactor Design Standards Committee, is seeking working group volunteers to participate in the creation of standards. ANS-19 seeks to identify needed standards relating to physics calculations for rector core design, formulate such standards and specify their range of applicability. These standards would provide criteria for the selection of nuclear data and computational methods, appropriate benchmark problem specifications for verification of calculational methods used by reactor core designers, criteria for evaluation of accuracy and the range of applicability of data methods, definitions of reactor physics terms and parameters, and guidelines for presentation and documentation of design computational results and criteria for reporting of the method of verification and of estimating uncertainties.
ANS-19 requires interested individuals who have a strong background and interest in this field. To request a volunteer form, you may download it from our website. Alternatively, you may contact Suriya Ahmad, Standards Administrator, American Nuclear Society, 555 North Kensington Avenue, LaGrange Park, IL 60525, Tel: 708-579-8269, Fax: 708-352-6464, Email: sahmad@ans.org.
