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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

NRC schedules webinars on Holtec’s proposed New Mexico storage site
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has scheduled four webinars in late August and early September to present its draft environmental findings and receive comments on Holtec International’s proposed consolidated spent nuclear fuel storage facility in New Mexico. Webinars were previously held on June 23 and July 9.
As published in the August 13 Federal Register, the public comment webinars will be held on August 20 from 6–9 p.m., August 25 from 2–5 p.m., August 26 from 6–9 p.m., and September 2 from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. All times are Eastern. Information for the webinars is posted on the NRC’s Public Meetings webpage.

The electron density and temperature profiles were measured in the central cell of Hanbit magnetic mirror device. The measured data were obtained during radio frequency (RF) discharges with frequencies of 3.5 and 3.75 MHz, and the RF heating power up to 200 kW under various experimental conditions. The radial electron density and temperature profiles were directly measured by a fast injection probe (FIP), and the axial and azimuthal ion saturation currents were measured from fixed array probes. The line integrated electron density was measured from a single channel interferometer and used as a reference signal for the FIP. The electron temperature measurements were carried out different diagnostic methods and compared with each other.
