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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

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.

The transport equation for monoenergetic neutrons with linearly anisotropic scattering has been solved numerically with a method developed by Carlvik. Homogeneous multiplying systems in the form of spheres and infinite slabs were studied with boundary conditions of no incoming neutrons. Tables are given of six or more eigenvalues for an average cosine of the scattering angle ranging from 0 to 0.3 and for various dimensions of the bodies. With increasing anisotropy, there is an increasing number of complex eigenvalues that extend to lower modes and larger bodies. For spheres, tentative curves of the eigenvalue spectrum are given.
