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 scientists use AI to detect hidden defects in stainless steel
Imagine you’re constructing a bridge or designing an airplane, and everything appears flawless on the outside. However, microscopic flaws beneath the surface could weaken the entire structure over time.
These hidden defects can be difficult to detect with traditional inspection methods, but a new technology developed by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory is changing that. Using artificial intelligence and advanced imaging techniques, researchers have developed a method to reveal these tiny flaws before they become critical problems.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Cost Reduction Opportunities
Monday, August 5, 2024|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Calusa 11/12
The panel will discuss successes and challenges when implementing Risk-Informed (RI) programs, including implementation of RI Fire Protection Program (NFPA 805), and 10CFR50.69 RI relaxation of requirements for low-safety significant SSCs, and Code Case N-752-1, RI Categorization and Treatment for Repair/Replacement Activities in Class 2 and 3 Systems.
The panel will share the benefits and cost savings achieved as a result of implementing these programs. The panel will also provide anecdotes from industry experience regarding issues that have complicated efficient implementation and maintenance of these programs and the ability to achieve real cost savings.
