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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

NuScale Energy Exploration Center opens at George Mason University
NuScale Power Corporation has opened another Energy Exploration (E2) Center—this one at George Mason University in Arlington, Va. Just last month, a NuScale E2 Center opened at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C. The newest E2 at George Mason is the company’s 11th center.

A modification is made with regard to the thermal group treatment of Borresen’s coarse-mesh method by using the nodal interface flux obtained from an analytical procedure as well as the nodedependent thermal group weight factors for the enumeration of the node average thermal group flux. From the numerical studies of the three-dimensional International Atomic Energy Agency benchmark problem, it is shown that the modification results in an improved accuracy in the gross power computation of the three-dimensional pressurized water reactor problem.
