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.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

Three models, a linear, exponential or BEST, and a power model, developed using sensitivity theory to predict deep-penetration neutron transport in practical shielding problems, have been generalized into a common expression. One can obtain any of the above three models from this generalized expression simply by choosing the proper index parameters. Subsequently, a scheme for implementation of this into a computer code was adopted in “SENATOR.” SENATOR replaces the SENTINEL module of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) FORSS system. The supporting data bases (i.e., the sensitivity profile) and the Fortran code, along with some utility programs, are assembled in a package identified as CONSENT and can be obtained through the Radiation Shielding Information Center at ORNL.
