Current status of the doe nuclear criticality safety program hands-on criticality safety training course at sandia

Topical Meeting Held by the ANS Nuclear Criticality Safety Division, NCSD 2013 - Criticality Safety in the Modern Era: Raising the Bar

Harms, Gary A.; Knief, Ronald A.; Miller, Allison D.; Ford, John T.

A hands-on critical-experiment training class has been developed by the US DOE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program using the water-moderated pin-fueled critical experiments at Sandia National Laboratories. The class is offered as part of the NCSP training program for Nuclear Criticality Safety Engineers in a facility that allows attendance by both cleared and uncleared personnel. Laboratory exercises have been developed that demonstrate the effects of varying a number of the parameters that are considered important to criticality safety. Accompanying the experiments is a series of classroom presentations that emphasize the concepts that are demonstrated in the experiments.
