Nuclear Systems Technologies
We
perform criticality safety and shielding evaluations
for nuclear facilities with complex configurations and
operations involving wide ranges of geometries,
materials, and neutron spectra. These capabilities are
based on a staff with decades of cumulative experience
(experimental and analytical) and the latest software
and nuclear data libraries.

We
provide the analytical and design evaluations needed
by the RERTR program. Our computational database,
which is continuously updated and improved, consists
of a number of computer codes to analyze the physics,
thermal-hydraulics, and safety performance of research
reactors. Using these analytical tools, the RERTR
program performs studies of specific foreign and
domestic reactors to assess their potential for
conversion to LEU fuel and to provide analytical
support for such conversions.

RERTR 2009 International Meeting on Reduced Enrichment for Research
and Test Reactors
Nov. 1-5, 2009, Beijing, China
The
U.S. Department of Energy / National Nuclear Security
Administration’s Office of Global Threat Reduction in cooperation
with the China Atomic Energy Authority and International Atomic
Energy Agency will host the “RERTR 2009 International Meeting on
Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors.” The meeting is
organized by Argonne National Laboratory, China Institute of Atomic
Energy and Idaho National Laboratory and will be held in Beijing,
China from November 1-5, 2009. This will be the 31st annual meeting
in a series on the same general subject regarding the conversion of
reactors within the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI). For
more information and to register visit the
RERTR-2009
website.
Decontamination and Decommissioning
We perform decontamination
and decommissioning of research
reactors and surplus
contaminated facilities, develop
technology to enhance D&D
safety and efficiency, and
share our expertise with the
international community
through training and technical
exchanges.

Systems/Process
Monitoring, Diagnostics and Control
We develop, demonstrate and apply advanced software tools for optimizing the operation of nuclear power plants and other engineering systems. This software generates and substantiates information online about the condition of plant systems. This information can then be used to maximize plant availability and power output, optimize plant maintenance functions, and help operators cope with potential upsets.
