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.

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.”

All cross sections, angular distributions, energy spectra, and double-differential cross sections are consistently calculated and analyzed for n+64,66,67,68,70,natZn reactions over the incident neutron energy range from 0.001 to 200 MeV. The optical model, preequilibrium and equilibrium reaction theories, and the distorted wave Born approximation theory are used. Theoretical calculated results are compared with the existing experimental data and the evaluated results in JEFF-3.2 and JENDL-4.0.
