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.

A well-collimated T(d,n)4He fast neutron beam has been used to investigate the possibility of a precise measurement of the energy of fast neutrons using a 2- × 2-in. NE-213 liquid scintillator. Four sets of measurements were performed at 0-, 85-, 90-, and 95-deg nominal angles of the deuteron beam relative to the collimator axis. This experimental setup provides monoenergetic neutrons with nominal energies of 14.697, 14.115, 14.061, and 14.007 MeV, respectively. The results of the energy measurement of these monoenergetic neutrons are 14.718 ± 0.0292 MeV, 14.124 ± 0.0177 MeV, 14.072 ± 0.0144 MeV, and 14.028 ± 0.0155 MeV. The proton recoil spectra created in the liquid scintillator were unfolded with the FORIST unfolding code. The center of gravity of the measured neutron peak was assumed to be the value of the exact neutron energy.
