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.

College students help develop waste-measuring device at Hanford
A partnership between Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS) and Washington State University has resulted in the development of a device to measure radioactive and chemical tank waste at the Hanford Site. WRPS is the contractor at Hanford for the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

On the basis of our recent experimental data and previous works by other investigators, the CHF model has been developed. It is the first model, which can predict the spatial variation of CHF along the flat surface facing downward. The physical framework established by Cheung and Haddad (1997) has been kept in the present modeling. The prediction showed that the most upstream region over the inclined heater surface is mostly susceptible to occurrence of boiling crisis. The present work is expected to contribute to the accurate estimation on the cooling limit of the ex-vessel core catcher cooling channel.
