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.

Gas separation tests were performed with nitrogen containing small concentrations of deuterium or tritium on a small-scale polyimide membrane module purchased from Ube Industries, similar to that developed at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). Experimental results showed that this separation process could be potentially applied to tritium removal systems used in tritium handling facilities. It would allow to reduce significantly the gas volume to be treated by the conventional oxidation-adsorption process, and, therefore, the number or size of associated equipments. Hazards arising from handling of highly toxic tritiated water vapor due to conversion of elemental tritium, would hence be lowered.
