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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

NuScale Energy Exploration Center opens at SC State
NuScale Power Corporation’s latest Energy Exploration (E2) Center has opened at South Carolina State University, in Orangeburg. E2 Centers are designed to provide visitors with hands-on experiences in simulated scenarios of operations at nuclear power plants. NuScale has established 10 such centers around the world. The company officially presented the fully installed E2 Center to SC State on May 21, after a collaborative setup and training process was completed.

Differential cross sections are reported for the elastic and discrete inelastic scattering of neutrons from 6Li and 7Li. Source neutrons were provided by the 2H(d,n)3He reaction in the energy range from 7 to 14 MeV. Scattered neutrons were detected at a distance of 3.9 m at angles from 25 to 160 deg in 5-deg intervals. Total cross sections were obtained for elastic scattering from 6Li and for the sum of elastic and 0.478-MeV state inelastic scattering from 7Li. Inelastic scattering cross sections were obtained for the 2.18-MeV state in 6Li and the 4.63-MeV state in 7Li. The results are compared to ENDF/B-IV predictions and to previous measurements. Inelastic scattering to the 4.63-MeV state in 7Li accounts for less than half of the total tritium production cross section for neutron interactions with 7Li.
