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.

Supreme Court rules against Texas in interim storage case
The Supreme Court voted 6–3 against Texas and a group of landowners today in a case involving the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s licensing of a consolidated interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, reversing a decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant the state and landowners Fasken Land and Minerals (Fasken) standing to challenge the license.

A method was developed for the analysis of a once-through steam generator that is based on a multinode movable boundary formulation and an accurate description of the departure from nucleate boiling boundary. In the development of this method, a liquid-metal reactor steam generator was used as a reference design. To evaluate its performance, the Energy Technology Engineering Center steam generator shutdown experiment in the once-through mode was analyzed. Also, the predictions of this method were compared with those of another steam generator code. These analyses showed that the predictions of this methodology agree very well with the experimental measurements and the predictions of the other code. The maximum difference between the temperatures predicted by this model and measurements was ∼5 K.
