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.

ANS responds to “antiscientific” op-ed
The Hill recently published an opinion piece by Cindy Folkers and Amanda Nichols entitled “They won’t tell you these truths about nuclear energy.” Sadly, after the first sentence, their so-called truth veers into a diatribe of antiscientific fearmongering and misrepresentations.
2023 ANS Student Conference Speaker
Dr. Hayes is an Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University where he teaches Health Physics, Nuclear Waste Management and Radiological Emergency Response. His research uses thermoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance along with gamma ray spectrometry and shielding for radiation safety, nuclear nonproliferation and radiological air monitoring. He is a licensed Professional Nuclear Engineer, a Certified Health Physicist and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He currently holds a joint faculty appointment with Savannah River National Laboratory and is an Associate Editor of the journal Radiation Physics and Chemistry. He previously worked in industry at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant doing nuclear waste management and at the former Nevada Test Site doing radiological emergency response for the Nuclear Emergency Support Teams.
