ANS continues to expand its certificate offerings
It’s almost been a full year since the American Nuclear Society held its inaugural section of Nuclear 101, a comprehensive certificate course on the basics of the nuclear field. Offered at the 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo, that first sold-out course marked a massive milestone in the Society’s expanding work in professional development and certification.

A new concept of a liquid wall divertor using fluid mixing effect is suggested. It is composed of two flows. One is main flow and the other is assistant inclined flow.
It is confirmed that by mixing effect of the assistant flow toward the main flow, the heated surface of main flow is dragged into the inside of the main flow and that, the surface flow velocity increases as that of assistant flow becomes larger. In addition, the larger velocity of assistant flow and faster main flow is effective to decrease the temperature of the surface flow.
