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.

Nuclear moratoriums crumble around the world
The recent surge in positive sentiment about nuclear as the most viable answer to global energy needs and decarbonization goals has found governments around the world taking steps to reverse course on decades-old bans, moratoriums, and restrictions on new nuclear development.
ICRS 14/RPSD 2022 speaker
Dr. Vasilis Vlachoudis, PhD in Nuclear Physics from Univ. of Bordeaux France. Currently holds a senior staff position as physicist in the Beam Matter Interactions section at CERN. The section is in charge of the FLUKA MC code development and its application on the CERN accelerator complex. Vasilis is leading the FLUKA (https://fluka.cern) code development and he is the lead author of flair (https://flair.cern) graphical interface used for FLUKA and other MC codes. Furthermore, Vasilis has an active role in the neutron time of flight facility at CERN as responsible for the spallation target physics optimization and design, as well as the experimental data processing chain.
