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.

G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

An explanation is proposed for the time dependence of the neutron emission transient observed after interrupting the electrolysis in Fleischmann-Pons-type experiments with titanium cathodes. It is suggested that the time structure of the neutron emission is related to a reduction of active volume (i.e., the volume with a loading ratio higher than the critical value necessary for cold fusion to take place) in the deuterated titanium. This reduction occurs during the postelectrolysis time due to deuterium transport from the TiDx delta-phase layer to the undeuterated bulk of the cathode. Calculations of the active volume decrease are done by using the Wagner model.
