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.”

A measurement of the 56Fe total neutron cross section at the interference minimum near 24.37 keV shows a value of 7.5 ± 4.2 mb. The data suggest a radiation width of 2 ± 1 eV for the 27.85-keV s-wave resonance of 56Fe. The values Γn, = (1.43 ± 0.06) keV and R′ = (5.67 ± 0.16) × 10−13 cm [(5.67 ± 0.16) fm] for this resonance were deduced from a shape fit.
