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.

Former Exelon CEO Chris Crane remembered for “transformational milestones”
Crane
Exelon announced that Chris Crane, the company’s former chief executive, passed away on Saturday in Chicago at the age of 65.
Crane served as the company’s president and CEO from 2012 until his retirement in December 2022. During his tenure, he steered the energy company through several transformational milestones, including the successful mergers with Constellation Energy in 2012 and Pepco Holdings in 2016, creating the largest utility business by customer count in the United States.
In 2022, with the spin-off of Constellation as the generation and retail side of energy business (with the largest U.S. nuclear fleet), Crane led the creation of a stand-alone transmission and delivery energy company.

Precise cross sections were measured for the 90Zr(n,)87mSr, 94Zr(n,)91Sr, 92Mo(n,)89m+gZr, 45Sc(n,)42K, 51V(n,)48Sc, 59Co(n,)56Mn, 93Nb(n,)90mY, 92Mo(n,p)92mNb, 96Mo(n,p)96Nb, 97Mo(n,p)97m+gNb, 90Zr(n,p)90mY, 91Zr(n,p)91mY, 92Zr(n,p)92Y, and 60Ni(n,p)60m+gCo reactions in the 7- to 14.7-MeV neutron energy range. Excitation functions were completed with a number of new differential data.Spectrum-averaged (n,) and (n,p) cross sections were measured for the 54Fe(n,)51Cr, 68Zn(n,)65Ni, 27Al(n,)24Na, 58Ni(n,p)58m+gCo, 64Zn(n,p)64Cu, 59Co(n,p)59Fe, 94Zr(n,p)94Y, 56Fe(n,p)56Mn, 46Ti(n,p)46m+gSc, 47Ti(n,p)47Sc, 48Ti(n,p)48Sc, and 62Ni(n,)59Fe reactions in addition to those aforementioned using a thick target Be(d,n) neutron field at Ed = 9.72 MeV. Results were compared with the ENDF/B-VI, IRDF90, JENDL-3, BROND, JEF-2, CENDL-2, and ADL-3 data files and the SINCROS-II system for testing the validation of differential data and the nuclear model calculations.
