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
Education, Training & Workforce Development
The Education, Training & Workforce Development Division provides communication among the academic, industrial, and governmental communities through the exchange of views and information on matters related to education, training and workforce development in nuclear and radiological science, engineering, and technology. Industry leaders, education and training professionals, and interested students work together through Society-sponsored meetings and publications, to enrich their professional development, to educate the general public, and to advance nuclear and radiological science and engineering.

New Mexico State University: Home of the newest ANS student section
The newest student section of the American Nuclear Society has been launched at New Mexico State University. Formally approved and celebrated at the 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo, this newest community is the 59th active ANS student section, not including two sections currently in the process of revitalization.

Nek5000 is an open-source, highly scalable, high-order, spectral-element-based computational fluid dynamics code. It combines the accuracy of spectral methods with the flexibility of the finite element method. It has been used for a wide range of applications in nuclear energy. It has the capabilities to perform DNS, LES, and unsteady RANS simulations using either an incompressible or low-Mach model. Its high-fidelity capability with the LES model has been well documented with consistent strong performance in international benchmarks. This tutorial will guide users in downloading and compiling Nek5000 as well as setting up and running a simple case.
In order to follow along, attendees should have access to a computer with a Unix based operating system and basic familiarity with using the terminal along with compatible FORTRAN 77 and C compilers installed with a working MPI wrapper. Either ParaView (paraview.org) or VisIt is necessary for visualization of results. We strongly recommend that attendees are familiar with either tool and have one installed prior to the workshop.
