Argonne is 13th Best Place to work for postdocs

Argonne is one of top 15 places in U.S. for postdocs to work
Argonne was recently ranked 13th best place for postdocs to work by life sciences magazine, The Scientist. The annual article, run for the seventh time in 2009, surveys postdocs at hundreds of labs and institutions, private and government, for-profit and not-for-profit, to gauge their opinions on the institutions they work for. Argonne's ranking in the survey jumped seven slots, from 20 to 13, in one year. More...

PROBABILISTIC RISK ASSESSMENT
Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) activities include development of probabilistic methods for applications to safety analysis of nuclear facilities including consequence analysis; basic plant component failure data analysis; systems reliability modeling with common cause failure; sensitivity theory methods and applications in PRA; use of PRA techniques in support of plants modifications and maintenance, including analysis of human factors in procedures; and applications of PRA methods and models to new facility designs with stress of spent fuel treatment and disposal facilities are carried out.

PROLIFERATION ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE NUCLEAR ARCHITECTURES
A major issue facing the development and expansion of nuclear power worldwide is the possibility for diversion of the technologies and materials to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). A challenge facing the United States is assessing and understanding the proliferation risks of future nuclear architectures (power plant and fuel cycle designs). A number of sophisticated decision theory techniques are to be considered including fault and event tree methods.
