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.

TEPCO releases initial analysis of Fukushima-2 fuel debris sample
Tokyo Electric Power Company has released the results of its initial analysis of a sample of nuclear fuel debris from Unit 2 of Japan’s damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The sample, which measured around 5mm by 4mm and totaled 0.187 grams, was taken from the floor of the reactor pedestal during a second trial removal of fuel debris conducted in April.
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Plenary Session|Panel
Monday, November 16, 2020|1:00–3:10PM EST
Session Chair:
Dave Kropaczek (ORNL)
Session Organizer:
Scott Palmtag (NCSU)
Staff Producer:
Dan Goldberg (American Nuclear Society)
Plenary Agenda
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) was founded in July 2010 as a Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Innovation Hub with the mission to develop, apply, and deploy advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) technologies to address operational and safety performance challenges impacting the performance of the Light Water Reactor fleet. The CASL Symposium celebrates the completion of the Hub activities and fulfillment of the CASL vision to predict, with confidence, the performance of nuclear reactors through comprehensive, science-based M&S technology that is deployed and applied broadly throughout the nuclear energy industry to enhance safety, reliability, and economics. The CASL plenary speakers, representing organizations in government, academia, and industry provide a unique perspective on the origins and history of CASL, the governance, structure and execution of the Hub model, and the deployment of CASL-developed technology to industry.
