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.

The Atomic and Molecular Data Unit of the International Atomic Energy Agency collaborates with an international network of data centers and fusion laboratories to support the production, compilation, and evaluation of atomic, molecular, and plasma-surface interaction (AM/PSI) data relevant to fusion energy research. In recent years, there have been increasing requests from the fusion community for the development of internationally recommended libraries of AM/PSI data for fusion, and the unit has increased its effort to promote the assessment of data quality by organizing a series of meetings on the relevant issues. Meeting participants from the AM/PSI data community developed plans for increased collaboration on the evaluation and recommendation of AM/PSI data. The discussions, conclusions, and future plans are summarized here.
