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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

The possibility of the nuclear reaction at a glow discharge device cathode during the low energy deuterium ions bombardment is investigated. Neutron and gamma spectra are measured. Neutrons with energy up to 17 Mev are detected. Neutron groups (2.45 Mev and 14 Mev) intensity ratio shows anomalous type of nuclear reaction. The formation of radioactive isotopes at different electrode materials is discovered. A deviation from radioactive decay law is found for some gamma-lines.
