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.

Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.

When the first nuclear construction boom came to an end and the industry transitioned to operations, many of the suppliers needed to support the initial construction exited nuclear. In the years leading up to the failed nuclear Renaissance, the industry realizing it lacked the capacity to build dozens of new plants went on a mission to bring new suppliers into nuclear. But is the best solution to capacity new suppliers or encouraging existing suppliers to add capacity? We sit on the precipice of building hundreds of new advanced reactors. What is the best path for the “industry” that consists of both utility operators and suppliers?
