RSIC NEWSLETTER-APRIL 1996

One new code system was added to the Computer Code Collection.

The following *define options will be removed from MCNP4B unless you tell us you need them:

FORTLIB, ENCORE, APOLLO, BCWTEX, NOS, NOSVE, CYBER205, FPS, PLOT10, DI3000, GRAFLIB, DISGRAF, COS, IBM

The IBM option is used by IBM mainframes which we would no longer support. We continue to fully support IBM AIX workstations and DOS PCs. If you need these systems, please notify John Hendricks, mcnp@lanl.gov.

In serving a specialized area of scientific endeavor, it seems important that we note significant events or changes in the activities of people concerned with radiation protection, transport, and shielding in the nuclear industry. We, therefore, continue to carry personal items as they are brought to our attention.

Eric L. Gingold, Ph.D., of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, has received the 1996 National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Robert D. Moseley, Jr. Award for Radiation Protection in Medicine. Dr. Gingold's paper, "Contrast and Dose in Mo-Mo, Mo-Rh, and Rh-Rh Target-Filter Combinations in Mammography," (co-authored with Xizeng Wu and Gary T. Barnes) was published by Radiology in June 1995. The study employed screen-film sensitometry to measure the contrast in images of a calcification target embedded in simulated breast tissue for three target/filter combinations as a function of x-ray tube potential, breast thickness and breast composition. Glandular doses were also determined. The measured contrast and dose were combined to calculate a Figure-of-Merit (FOM) defined as (contrast)2/dose. The study concluded that for the thick or dense breast, the alternative target/filter selections can achieve contrast comparable to or better than the contrast obtainable with Mo-Mo, while delivering less dose. With estimates of the number of mammographic examinations performed on breasts more than 5-cm thick or involving dense breast tissue ranging from 25 to 60 percent of all mammograms, the potential for dose reduction is substantial. Dr. Gingold received a B.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo. His M.S. and Ph.D. were conferred in bioengineering from the University of California, Berkeley and San Francisco. After completing a two year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Gingold accepted a position with the Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, New York, and then moved on to his present position with the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

Thomas Thornton, senior scientist at Battelle-Pacific Northwest Laboratory, has received a 1995 American Society for Testing and Materials Award of Merit for his outstanding contributions in the development of standards for Committee C-26 on the Nuclear Fuel Cycle, in particular for his work on standards for commercial nuclear fuels and reactor materials, and high-level nuclear waste disposal efforts. The title of fellow accompanies the award.

Congratulations are extended to Roger E. Stoller, a senior research staff member in the Metals and Ceramics Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, who also received an American Society for Testing and Materials Award of Merit. Stoller was cited for promoting the international success of the radiation effects symposium series of Committee E-10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications, and for increasing the participation of the commercial nuclear industry in committee activities.

Obituaries

The new publications exhibit the scope of the Council's program ranging from elements of basic criteria such as collective dose and limits for special exposure situations to practical guidance on assessment of exposure. They also show that the Council's interests range from medical applications of radiation to policy issues reflected in societal decision making.

Roger Ney, Executive Director, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Suite 800, Bethesda, Maryland 20814-3095 (phone 301-657-2652, fax 301-907-8768).

RSIC attempts to keep its users/contributors advised of conferences, courses, and symposia in the field of radiation protection, transport, and shielding through this section of the newsletter. Should you be involved in the planning/organization of such events, feel free to send your announcements and calls for papers to RSIC.

RPSD is sponsoring a special session at the International Meeting of the American Nuclear Society and the European Nuclear Society (ANS/ENS). The session is entitled, "Radiological Analysis Utilizing Revised Accident Source Terms." The meeting will be held in Washington, D.C., November 10-15, 1996.

Presenters of this session will discuss works that utilize recent developments in source terms, such as those presented in NUREG-1465, "Accident Source Terms for Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants." NUREG-1465 provides estimates of the source term release into containment, in terms of timing, nuclide types, quantities and chemical form, given a core-melt accident. The works presented in this session can include, but are not limited to, methods, models, computer codes, safety enhancements, and relief of safety systems utilizing revised source terms. Those who wish to contribute a summary of their work for this session are required to follow the directions in the Call for Papers, which is available to ANS members in the April 1996 Nuclear News. For ENS members, it is published in the May Nuclear European Worldscan. The deadline for submitting a summary is June 7, 1996. Those who are not ANS/ENS members and need a copy of the Call for Papers or have questions concerning this session please contact the session organizer, Mark Blumberg, Houston Lighting and Power, P.O. Box 289, Wadsworth, TX 77483-0289 (phone 512-972-8908; fax 512-972-8081).

The time and place has been announced for the third in the Global series of conferences on nuclear fuel systems. The conference will be held October 5-10, 1997, in Yokohama, Japan. The theme, "Challenge Towards the Second Nuclear Era with Advanced Fuel Cycles," will encourage discussion and evaluation of future nuclear systems and fuel cycle options. Participants are encouraged to contribute papers on advanced concepts, designs and high performance systems of fast reactors, thermal reactors with plutonium fuel, reprocessing, fuel fabrication, waste management and disposal, decommissioning and nuclear safeguards in addition to basic research on physics, chemistry and metallurgy issues, and separation and transmutation of selected nuclides. The deadline for summary and abstract is November 30, 1996. Additional information about the conference and abstract requirements may be obtained from: N. Mizoo, Secretary for GLOBAL '97, Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC), 1-9-13, Akasaka Minato-ku Tokyo 107, Japan (phone +81-3-3586-3311; fax: +81-3-3586-7726).
