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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

The TMAP code has been upgraded to version 7, which includes radioactive decay along with many features implemented in prior versions. Pursuant to acceptance and release for distribution, the code was exercised in a variety of problem types to demonstrate that it provides results in agreement with theoretical results for cases where those are available. It has also been used to model certain experimental results. In this paper, the capabilities of the TMAP7 code are demonstrated by presenting some of the results from the verification and validation process.
