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
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

The control and monitoring of tritium are important aspects of the Canadian heavy water based nuclear power program. The development of tritium monitoring in Canada is discussed with particular attention being paid to experience gained at the Chalk River Nuclear Laboratories and at Ontario Hydro CANDU nuclear generating stations. Presently a coordinated tritium monitoring development program is underway to provide improved tritium monitoring instrumentation to meet the identified needs of fission reactors, tritium handling facilities, and fusion reactors. This program is outlined with some particular requirements of fusion reactors being discussed in detail.
