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 results of the field experiments of HTO washout with rainfall in the vicinity of the HT and HTO emission source are presented. The objective of the current study was to obtain the direct experimental data on the impact of raindrops characteristics (rate and spectrum of the drops) on HTO washout from the atmosphere. The results can be applied in for the development and validation of various models of washout.
