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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

We constructed spectroscopic measurement systems that cover the wavelength range from soft X-ray (SX) to visible lights for impurity ion diagnostics in the GAMMA 10. We observed the absolute impurity line intensities, Doppler line broadening and time dependent radial profiles of the impurity ion emissions. We determined the radiation loss and impurity ion density in the GAMMA 10.
