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.

Argonne’s METL gears up to test more sodium fast reactor components
Argonne National Laboratory has successfully swapped out an aging cold trap in the sodium test loop called METL (Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop), the Department of Energy announced April 23. The upgrade is the first of its kind in the United States in more than 30 years, according to the DOE, and will help test components and operations for the sodium-cooled fast reactors being developed now.

Nuclear Supply Chains typically have a much more difficult time achieving standard supplier diversity goals than their counterparts. Some of the reasons for this include the volume of purchases made with the large OEMs, virtually all of which are investor-owned, the overhead necessary to support Appendix B programs, and safety requirement. Subcontracting and the engagement of Tier II suppliers is often talked about but rarely implemented to any degree of effectiveness. Many of the conferences and trade shows featuring diverse suppliers are not geared toward nuclear. This workshop will focus overcoming some of the challenges to the inclusion of diverse suppliers in the nuclear Supply Chain - a successful diverse nuclear supplier, successes in the inclusion of diverse businesses as Tier I and Tier II suppliers, and best practices to achieve these successes.
