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.

The composite packing with the hydrophobic platinum catalyst for the isotope exchange reaction in H2O-H2 system was improved to be appreciably active. Therefore, it bacame realistic to design a process for tritium recovery by the dual-temperature exchange method. The separation performance of dual-temperature 5-stage cascade (S3-E2) was simulated. The process was desinged to be operated under the condition of P = 0.1 MPa, TH = 70 °C, TC = 15∼20 °C. The cascade could attain tritium recovery ratio of 0.99 and enriching ratio larger than 103.
