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.

Hydroxyl groups on the surface of Li2O were studied by using a diffuse reflectance method with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy at high temperature up to 833K under controlled D2O or D2 partial pressure. Multiple peaks due to the stretching vibration of 0-D were observed at 2748, 2717, 2660, 2620, 2540, 2520, 2490cm−1 showing a different behavior with temperature or atmosphere. When D2 was added to the sweep gas, peak intensity of 2660 and 2620cm−1 decreased. This result indicates that the surface nature is influenced by oxygen potential. Assignment of observed peaks to the surface nature was also discussed.
