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.

Securing the advanced reactor fleet
Physical protection accounts for a significant portion of a nuclear power plant’s operational costs. As the U.S. moves toward smaller and safer advanced reactors, similar protection strategies could prove cost prohibitive. For tomorrow’s small modular reactors and microreactors, security costs must remain appropriate to the size of the reactor for economical operation.

The Lumpkins Ballroom at the La Fonda Hotel
As part of the USNIC Space Nuclear Industry Symposium (SNIS), please join us for a networking reception at the La Fonda Hotel in the Lumpkins Ballroom from 6:00-7:30 PM. Hors d'oeuvres will be provided, and drink tickets will be distributed upon arrival and will then open up to a cash bar. Come join your fellow NETS 2024 participants and give a toast to the sky no longer being the limit to what advanced nuclear can achieve.
