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.

Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

Studies on chemical behavior of energetic deuterium implanted into SiC, Si, and graphite were carried out by means of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS). Two chemical states of implanted deuterium were observed in SiC. It was suggested that the one was contribution of deuterium in interstitial, and the other was contribution of deuterium in defects resulted by deuterium ion (D2+) implantation. From the results for Si, it was found that implanted deuterium existed in Si with three chemical states. The deuterium behavior in graphite was different with that in SiC and in Si. The deuterium chemical behavior in SiC was discussed in comparison with that implanted into Si and graphite.
