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.

Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

The necessity and technical feasibility of a Fusion-Fission hybrid reactor for supporting PWR nuclear power station in China has been investigated both through parametric system studies and some key R & D technology. The main aim is to study the reality for fuelling an experimental fusion-fission hybrid reactor at the befinning of the next century in China, of course feasibility of the commerical hybrid reactor producing tons of fissile material per year also outlined. The study demonstrates that the fusion-fission hybrid reactor has the potential to solve the problem for energy demand of the middle of the next century in China.
