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.

NC State releases feasibility study for new research and test reactor
North Carolina State University has completed a feasibility study for its planned advanced research and test reactor. The $3 million study, which was undertaken by the university at the direction of the North Carolina General Assembly, is described in the full report, includes recommendations and projected costs and timelines.
Reactor type: NC State prefers the new reactor to be of “a multipurpose advanced sodium-cooled mixed/coupled spectrum design,” according to the report. Such a design would make the reactor “the only sodium-cooled fast research and test reactor in the country.”
