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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Machine-learning models have generated a lot of interest in thermal hydraulics and are starting to penetrate the practice of engineering and design. However, the methods on verification, validation and uncertainty quantification are not routinely applied and the methodology is still in development. The panelists will discuss their experience with ML-based model applications and development and the challenges of V&V and UQ approaches towards ML.
