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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

U.S. fusion pilot program ready to back designs from industry-led teams
The Department of Energy announced up to $50 million for a new milestone-based fusion energy development program on September 22. The funding opportunity announcement is open to for-profit companies—possibly teamed with national laboratories, universities, and others—that are prepared to meet major technical and commercialization milestones leading to a pilot fusion power plant design.

Description
The 2019 M&C Conference attracted top theoreticians and practitioners from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, continuing the tradition of being the premier gathering of mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, and engineers devoted to solving computational challenges in nuclear science and technology. These proceedings include archival versions of the M&C presentations that took place over four days in more than 35 sessions. Some of the topics the papers in this proceedings cover are, deterministic transport methods, Monte Carlo methods and applications, general radiation transport, computational fluid dynamics and applications to nuclear thermal hydraulics, multiphysics simulations in nuclear science and engineering, nuclear data evaluations and assimilation of integral experiments, uncertainty qualification and security analysis.
