Communities
- 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.

  Cost drivers of nuclear steam cycle construction
  Interest in reducing carbon emissions around the world continues to climb. As a complement to the increasing deployment of variably generating renewables, advanced nuclear is commonly shown in net-zero grid modeling for 2050 because it represents firm electricity production that can flex in output with load demands.¹ However, these projections are challenged by the high levelized cost of electricity associated with legacy nuclear construction, which is often more than double that of modern combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants.

Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee

The Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee is responsible for promoting and supporting the participation of underrepresented or marginalized groups within the Society. Such groups include, but are not limited to: women, persons of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, persons with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups. The committee shall encourage entrance into the nuclear industry, support them achieving their career objectives, serve as ANS liaison to relevant committees in other technical societies, assist the Society in communicating public information where appropriate, and advise the Executive Committee and ANS leadership on domestic and international diversity and inclusion strategies.

Member Responsibilities:

Attend committee meetings at each of the national meetings and participate on conference calls as needed.
Develop and implement strategies to attract diverse and underrepresented groups into nuclear education and careers in nuclear.
Approve financial support to the NEED Grants for Academic Programs (NGAP), George A. Ferguson Motivational Grants (GAFMG) for K-12 school programs, and travel grants.

Helpful Traits for Members:

Desire to promote diversity and inclusion in nuclear.
Experience in activities to attract diverse and underrepresented groups into nuclear or other STEM related fields.

Committee Chair:: Lane Carasik
Staff Liaison:: Daryl Rizzo
