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.

Countering the nuclear workforce shortage narrative
James Chamberlain, director of the Nuclear, Utilities, and Energy Sector at Rullion, has declared that the nuclear industry will not have workforce challenges going forward. “It’s time to challenge the scarcity narrative,” he wrote in a recent online article. “Nuclear isn't short of talent; it’s short of imagination in how it attracts, trains, and supports the workforce of the future.”

Neutron capture by the heavier stable ruthenium isotopes and by natural rhodium has been measured at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator time-of-flight facility up to 500 to 700 keV. Most of these isotopes are important as fission products. Strength functions S0, S1, S2, and Sγ were fitted to the average cross sections derived for the pure isotopes up to 113 keV. Resonance parameters were fitted for ∼100 cross-section peaks for each isotope.
