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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

To improve material properties of reduced-activation ferritic steels, mechanical properties and microstructure of the steels with adjusting minor alloying elements, such as N, B, Ta, and Ti were investigated. If it became necessary to reduce N contents in the steels for nuclear consideration, B-addition would have the potential to produce a steel comparable, at least in terms of mechanical properties before irradiation, to the JLF-1 IEA heat. Increasing the Ta contents could induce further grain refinement in the JLF-1 steel, but had no significant effect on the tensile and impact properties.
