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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

A laser-induced cold fusion reaction has been obtained in Ti-H2-D2-T2 systems. Correlations are found among gamma-ray pulses, neutron emission pulses, and phase transitions in the Ti-D2 system. No thermal effect is observed. Gamma-ray fluxes of ∼5 × 103 gamma/s and neutron emission of ∼2 × 102 n/s in pulses of <0.5 s have been obtained. The possibility of laser generation of gamma rays in the cold fusion reaction is discussed, as are aspects of laser-induced phase transitions in metal-gas systems.
