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.

ANS responds to “antiscientific” op-ed
The Hill recently published an opinion piece by Cindy Folkers and Amanda Nichols entitled “They won’t tell you these truths about nuclear energy.” Sadly, after the first sentence, their so-called truth veers into a diatribe of antiscientific fearmongering and misrepresentations.
ANS Young Members Group Spotlight on Nuclear Careers
February 25, 2022|12:15AM–12:45PM (1:15AM–1:45PM EST)
Available to All Users
Join ANS's Young Members Group for a casual conversation about nuclear careers with Marci Shelton, senior nuclear engineer at SHINE Technologies LLC. Shelton currently works on production of radioisotopes for diagnostic and therapeutic applications in medicine, such as cancer therapy and imaging. She talked about her work with SHINE as well as her background in the nuclear industry. Following her talk, students asked questions about Shelton’s and other careers in the nuclear field.
Originally from southwest Wisconsin and a University of Wisconsin-Madison alumnus, Shelton has a diverse background in the nuclear industry having worked at the UW reactor lab, Idaho National Laboratory, and two nuclear utilities in both operations and engineering. Her most recent role before joining SHINE was as lead installation acceptance test developer & outage test director for an analog-to-digital control system upgrade at Exelon - Byron Generating Station.
