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.

Drones fly in to inspect waste tanks at Savannah River Site
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management will soon, for the first time, begin using drones to internally inspect radioactive liquid waste tanks at the department’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina. Inspections were previously done using magnetic wall-crawling robots.

In this study, the calculations of proton emission spectra and of the excitation function produced by 63Cu(n, xp) and 63Cu(n, p)63Ni reactions, respectively, are used in the framework of preequilibrium models with the new version of the EMPIRE 3.2 code. Exciton Model predictions combined with the Kalbach angular distribution systematics and the Hybrid Monte Carlo Simulation (HMS) were used, and some necessary parameters have been investigated for our calculations. The comparison with experimental data shows clear improvement over the Exciton Model and HMS calculations.
