  1. Nuclear Power and NPSS Richard Kouzes AdCom Retreat & Meeting March 2010

  2. Current NPSS Technical Activities That Apply to Nuclear Power • Computer Applications • Fusion Technology • Plasma Science and Applications • Radiation Effects • Radiation Instrumentation • Particle Accelerator Science and Technology.

  3. Current NPSS Fields of Interest That Apply to Nuclear Power • instrumentation for research; • detection and measurement of radiation; • radiation monitoring and safety equipment; • magnetofluid dynamics and thermionics; • plasma dynamics; • controlled thermonuclear fusion; • electron, ion, and plasma sources; • laser-plasma interactions; • diagnostics; • nuclear instrumentation development for reactor systems; • effects of radiation on materials, components, and systems; • applications of radiation and nuclear energy to other than utility power generation.

  4. Proposed Nuclear Power Fields of Interest • What should we be doing in Nuclear Power? Revise our FOI? • Instrumentation & control for nuclear power systems (CANPS) • Detector technology for nuclear power (RITC) • Non-proliferation measurement systems (RITC) • Modeling and simulation for nuclear energy (RITC) • Next generation nuclear power systems (FTC and RITC) • Fusion in the energy context (FTC) • ITER (FTC) • Strategic Planning for a broader U.S. fusion program (FTC) • Predictive simulation of fusion plasmas (PSAC) • Accelerator based waste transmutation, heavy ion fusion, neutral beam injection, materials testing (PAST).

  5. Conference Co-Sponsorship • NPIC & HMIT 2009 – US (cosponsored) • ANIMMA 2009 – France (cosponsored) • INREC 2010 – Jordan (not cosponsored) • NEET 2010 – China (not cosponsored) • NPIC & HMIT 2010 – US (cosponsored) • ANIMMA 2011 – Belgium (cosponsored?)

  6. Partnering With Other Societies • NPSS and PES show up under Nuclear Power on IEEE Technical Navigator • Power & Energy Society (PES) • 24,000 individuals engaged in the electric power energy industry • leading provider of scientific information on electric power and energy • Meetings in China, New Orleans, Minneapolis • What relationship would be productive? • Proposed: Joint support for conferences where there is an overlap.

  7. New Technical Committee • Nuclear Power TC for NPSS? • Leadership? • Membership? • Role in NPSS? • Conference? • Expand current conferences to include nuclear power sessions. • Better Name: Nuclear Power or Energy or Applications…?

  8. Leadership for Nuclear Power Possible Sources of Leadership ANIMMA, INREC, NEET, other Committee • Richard Kouzes, chair PNNL • Leonard J Bond PNNL • Ewe Bratzler • Peter Clout Vista Controls • Lorenzo Fabris Orlando 2009 NSS Chair • Christoph Ilgner Dortmund • Andy Kadak MIT • Gordon Kohse MIT • Richard Lanza MIT • Patrick Ledu Saclay • Jane Lehr SNL (NPSS past chair) • Jean-Pierre Martin U Montreal • John Meredith Agelent (retired) • Hutch Neilson PPPL • M Tillack UCSD • Mike Unterweger NIST • Craig Woody BNL (NPSS chair)
