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.
Meeting Spotlight
Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX)
September 8–11, 2025
Atlanta, GA|Atlanta Marriott Marquis
Standards Program
The Standards Committee is responsible for the development and maintenance of voluntary consensus standards that address the design, analysis, and operation of components, systems, and facilities related to the application of nuclear science and technology.

Complete sets of nuclear data are calculated for n + 85,87Rb below 20 MeV, including all kinds of cross sections, especially for some reactions resulting in the residual nuclei in metastable/isomeric states; angular distributions of elastic scattering, energy spectra, and/or double-differential cross sections of all emitted particles; and gamma production data (production cross sections and multiplicity, energy spectra) in all kinds of reactions. The calculated cross sections are in good accordance with the experimental values for those reactions with experimental data.
