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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Direct waste transfer process quickens at Savannah River Site
The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management’s liquid waste contractor at the Savannah River Site this month marked the first direct transfer of decontaminated waste from the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) to the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF). This is a new step in optimizing waste processing, according to the DOE.

This work presents demonstrative test results of CMSB by simulated helium glow discharge exhaust gas condition in 60 l/min of flow rate. This work focused on H2 and HT adsorption and regeneration performance of CMSB and optimum regeneration procedure, so that the operation cycle time become smaller. Test results showed consistency with bench-scale experiments. Obtained engineering data are applicable for the design of the CMSB process for ITER He GDC gas cleanup. As the results of this work, it was demonstrated that CMSB process could clean up 54.3 SLM of He stream with H2(400) ppm+HT(0.5 ppm). Regeneration performance in various total pressure were obtained and evaluated by the calculation and clarified necessary information for determining the optimum regeneration procedure of CMSB which allow continuous operation in the shorter period of operation cycle (adsorption and regeneration).
