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.
Meeting Spotlight

Particle orbit, simulations are carried out to study the reflection of Ile ions recycled from a tokamak divertor by RF electric fields, which have the frequency close to ion cyclotron resonance frequency(ICRF). The performance of particle reflection and the requirement to the intensity of RF fields are studied. The control of He recycling by ICRF fields is found to be available.
