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.

Strontium: Supply-and-demand success for the DOE’s Isotope Program
The Department of Energy’s Isotope Program (DOE IP) announced last week that it would end its “active standby” capability for strontium-82 production about two decades after beginning production of the isotope for cardiac diagnostic imaging. The DOE IP is celebrating commercialization of the Sr-82 supply chain as “a success story for both industry and the DOE IP.” Now that the Sr-82 market is commercially viable, the DOE IP and its National Isotope Development Center can “reassign those dedicated radioisotope production capacities to other mission needs”—including Sr-89.
13th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control & Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2023)

The US Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Sensors and Instrumentation (ASI) program focuses on research and development (R&D) of technologies that benefit the nuclear community by enhancing measurement capabilities and addressing critical I&C technology gaps in support of sustaining the existing reactor fleet, deployment of next generation advanced reactor designs, and assisting ongoing materials and fuels experiments. ASI enables this crosscutting research by investing in emerging technologies under development at universities and national laboratories, and by evaluating and elevating technology maturity through technology commercialization efforts with industry partners. The program is organized in three research areas: sensors for advanced reactors, sensors for irradiation experiments and sensors integration. Each area technical lead is a panel member. The fourth panel member represents the perspective of one of the program major stakeholders, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This panel discusses the outcome of research activities funded by ASI and their implication on the accelerated deployment of advanced reactor technologies.
