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 scintillator-based fast-ion loss detector (FILD) project in Japan, Korea, and China has been accelerated in an international collaboration framework to enhance comprehensive understanding of fast-ion behaviors in toroidal fusion plasmas. The FILDs in LHD heliotron, KSTAR, HL-2A, and EAST tokamaks are successfully working as a result of joint work. Physics experiments on fast ions, such as effects of Alfvénic mode, tearing mode, resonant magnetic perturbation field, and disruption on fast-ion behaviors are ongoing. This paper describes the FILD developed for each device and those effects on fast ions in LHD, KSTAR, HL-2A, and EAST.
