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.

Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.
Embedded Topical Meeting
June 15–18, 2025
Since 1978, the ANS biennial topical conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) has been a worldwide forum for communication of major probabilistic risk and safety topics, including issues, methods, applications, insights, policy, research, and risk-informed regulation experience. The 19th PSA meeting, sponsored by the ANS Nuclear Installations Safety Division, will highlight the role of probabilistic methods in understanding uncertainties; improving the safety and security of the current nuclear facilities; and supporting the design, licensing, operation, and other riskinformed applications of the next generation of reactors. PSA 2025 is structured to foster interaction and collaboration across topic areas, leading to increased understanding and application of PSA in all phases of nuclear power plant design and operation. The use of PSA has continually increased over the last decade with reliance on PSAs and associated risk-informed applications at its highest point in nuclear industry history. SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT
