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
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

Zaporizhzhia ‘extremely fragile’ relying on single off-site power line, IAEA warns
Europe’s largest nuclear power plant has just one remaining power line for essential nuclear safety and security functions, compared with its original 10 functional lines before the military conflict with Russia, warned Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The model of anomalous transport in cylindrical plasma configurations is suggested. The model is based on the study of the particle dynamics under the action of drift waves, and anomalous transport is considered as a result of stochastization of particle motion under influence of many mode perturbation. Plasma conditions correspond to experiments on of GAMMA-10 tandem mirror. The effect of anomalous transport suppression due to radial electric field, and physical picture of H mode are considered. Obtained results are compared with experimental data obtained on GAMMA-10 tandem mirror and field reversed configurations (FRCs).
