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.

NRC v. Texas: Supreme Court weighs challenge to NRC authority in spent fuel storage case
The State of Texas has not one but two ongoing federal court challenges to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that could, if successful, turn decades of NRC regulations, precedent, and case law on its head.

The efficiency of ozone synthesis from oxygen in a chemonuclear reactor is estimated as a function of temperature, ozone concentration, and dose rate from extrapolation of previous experimental results obtained with 60Co gamma irradiation. The extrapolations give G(O3) ≳ 9 for conditions closely approximating those cited by economic analysis as potentially interesting. Fission fragment irradiation experiments give G(O3) ≈ 6 at T = ×78°C for [O3J up to 0.45 vol%, in reasonable agreement with the extrapolations.
