ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

College students help develop waste-measuring device at Hanford
A partnership between Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) and Washington State University has resulted in the development of a device to measure radioactive and chemical tank waste at the Hanford Site. WRPS is the contractor at Hanford for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

The protecting effect of (−)-epicatechin (EC), (−)-epicatechin gallate (ECg), (−)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) on the DNA strand scission induced in tritiated water was analyzed. The scission with the hydroxyl radical produced by the decomposition of water molecules was decreased by the addition of above reagents. Protective effect of EGCg, EC and DMPO was dependent on their concentrations, but that of ECg and EGC was independent. Therefore, it was considered that certain amounts of ECg, EGC molecules might locate around DNA molecules, interacting with DNA.
