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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump issues executive orders to overhaul nuclear industry
The Trump administration issued four executive orders today aimed at boosting domestic nuclear deployment ahead of significant growth in projected energy demand in the coming decades.
During a live signing in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump called nuclear “a hot industry,” adding, “It’s a brilliant industry. [But] you’ve got to do it right. It’s become very safe and environmental.”

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.
