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
Isotopes & Radiation
Members are devoted to applying nuclear science and engineering technologies involving isotopes, radiation applications, and associated equipment in scientific research, development, and industrial processes. Their interests lie primarily in education, industrial uses, biology, medicine, and health physics. Division committees include Analytical Applications of Isotopes and Radiation, Biology and Medicine, Radiation Applications, Radiation Sources and Detection, and Thermal Power Sources.

Measurements of thermal utilization, resonance escape probability, and fast effect have been made in 1.3% enriched uranium metal and uranium oxide fueled lattices. Parameter measurements were made in oxide lattices of fuel densities 7.53 g/cc and 10.53 g/cc. Experimental results were obtained in lattices having 0.600-inch and 0.387-inch diameter rods at several water-to-uranium ratios. Values of the parameters have also been determined for two 1.15% enriched metal fueled lattices.
