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.

Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.
Executive Session
Wednesday, June 15, 2022|1:00–2:45PM PDT|Pacific A
Session Chair:
Paul Dickman
Session Organizer:
Rodney McCullum (Senior Director Decommissioning and Used Fuel)
The siting of a Nuclear Waste Policy Act-mandated final geologic repository for used nuclear fuel high-level radioactive waste has been indefinitely delayed due to political opposition, while the need to responsibly remove these materials at shuttered and operating reactors continues to grow. To mitigate the impacts of this delay, private and federal actions are progressing to site and develop Consolidated Interim Storage (CIS) facilities. Panelists at this session will discuss the latest updates on these initiatives as well as the challenges and solutions that are presently evolving.
