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.

Framatome signs contracts with Sizewell C
French nuclear developer Framatome is slated to deliver key equipment for Sizewell C Ltd.’s two large reactors planned for the United Kingdom’s Suffolk coast.
The agreement, reportedly worth multiple billions of euros, was announced this week and will involve Framatome from the design phase until commissioning. The company also agreed to a long-term fuel supply deal. Framatome is 80.5 percent owned by France’s EDF and 19.5 percent owned by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.

The stopping power of Formvar and Mylar polymeric materials for energy region (0.1 to 1.0) MeV/nucleon 19F, 23Na, 24Mg, 27Al, 28Si, 31P, 32S, 35Cl, and 40Ar ions have been determined. The energy loss and stopping power of Mylar were calculated for 11B having energies between 0.31 and 0.85 MeV/nucleon. In fact, the factor ξe and exponential function f(E) involved in Lindhard, Scharff, and Schiott (LSS) theory has been modified in light of the available simulation electronic stopping power values. The results obtained by the LSS modified theory and Monte Carlo simulations are compared with MSTAR, the SRIM predictions code, and experimental data. The obtained results show a close agreement qualitatively with MSTAR, experimental data, and those generated by the SRIM computer code.
