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.

Can hydrogen be the transportation fuel in an otherwise nuclear economy?
Let’s face it: The global economy should be powered primarily by nuclear power. And it probably will by the end of this century, with a still-significant assist from renewables and hydro. Once nuclear systems are dominant, the costs come down to where gas is now; and when carbon emissions are reduced to a small portion of their present state, it will become obvious that most other sources are only good in niche settings. I mean, why use small modular reactors to load-follow when they can just produce that power instead of buffering it?

With the implementation of Hydrogen Production at hand here in the U.S. and the potential benefits to be derived in light of today’s environment, this session will provide a multi-faceted perspective of hydrogen production for potential implementation across the operating fleet. This panel will be prepared to discuss the opportunities & challenges facing sites considering such efforts as well as the status of current efforts on going here in the US, the lessons being learned in the process, and expectations for the near future. Planned perspectives include a diverse panel from near-term operating plant implementation, industry research, government research & support organizations. A brief update by each panel member will precede the panel discussion with the hope and expectation of driving informative dialogue.
