Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT)

AI Thread Summary
The SMiRT conference has been a key forum for professionals in structural mechanics related to nuclear power systems, covering various components from fuel to containment systems. It is organized by the International Association of Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (IASMiRT). The organization was founded by Thomas Jaeger, who also played a significant role in establishing the journal Nuclear Engineering and Design. The upcoming SMiRT-25 event is scheduled for August 4-9, 2019, in Charlotte, NC. For more details, resources are available on the IASMiRT website.

The SMiRT conference/symposium has been an important venue over the decades for folks involved in structural mechanics applied to nuclear power systems, from fuel and core components, to large components like pressure vessels, piping, heat exchangers, and related equipment, up through containment systems, etc.

The symposium is the purview of the International Association of Structural Mechanics in Reactor Technology (IASMiRT). I've known and worked with a number of members, some of whom were involved since the beginning, or shortly thereafter.

I only recently realized that the principal founder (Thomas Jaeger) of the organization and conference was also instrumental in establish the journal, Nuclear Engineering and Design.

Main site - http://www.iasmirt.org/ - has a list of the conference and their transactions.

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
