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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.
Meeting Spotlight

One of the objectives of the Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK) is to develop new analytical techniques or improve existing ones for the qualitative and quantitative determination of the composition of gas mixtures containing tritium. Among the analytical techniques (mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, laser Raman spectroscopy, calorimetry, ionisation chambers, etc.) available at die TLK, gas chromatography plays a special role because different gas chromatographs are used not only for basic and applied research, but also for infrastructure applications. The TLK gas chromatographs are evaluated on the basis of flow diagrams and typical chromatograms. Further details such as type of columns, detectors and detection limits are also given.
