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.
Meeting Spotlight

Neutron spectra have been measured by the time-of-flight method from 1 eV to 2 keV at various positions across depleted uranium and borated polyethylene in slab geometry with an energy resolution of 0.9% at 6.68 eV. The observed behavior around the 6.68-eV resonance in 238U has been compared with the predictions of the transport theory code 1DF in S4 and S6 approximations using different quadratures and spatial representations. The space-averaged flux has been calculated with the slowing down code GAROL. The 1DF calculations agree reasonably well with experiment and the GAROL values.
