Ensuring Safety and Cleanliness: The Crucial Role of Industrial Vacuums in Nuclear Power Facilities
The primary culprits behind contamination in a nuclear facility are fission products resulting from nuclear reactions and activated corrosion products like rust and metal. While these radioactive materials remain within the reactor system, the risk of contamination is minimal. However, the reality of a complex network of pipes and valves introduces vulnerabilities, leading to potential leaks and spills. The necessity for periodic system openings, required for sampling and maintenance, further heightens the risk of contamination. Once outside the system, radioactive materials can disperse, jeopardizing other plant components, areas, and even personnel.
Please select a journal for more information, including how to search each journal's archive, containing thousands of articles both recent and historical.
ANS members have free electronic access to all three of ANS's technical journals. For access to articles, members must sign in to the ANS website before clicking through to the Taylor and Francis Online Platform.
Publication in ANS's journals is free of charge.
Optionally, authors can choose to publish their research open access via Open Select, a feature of ANS's publishing partner Taylor & Francis. Open Select requires payment of an article publishing charge (APC) following peer review and acceptance of a submitted manuscript. The APC rate is $2,990 per submission. Articles published Open Select are made freely available to the public upon publication.
The author name change policy for ANS journals is available online at Taylor and Francis.
To submit: Click a journal title above for more information on each ANS journal and to submit your work.
ANS strives to not only publish the most thorough and distinguished research in the nuclear field, but also to ensure that said research is preserved, persistent, and available across multiple search platforms. ANS is glad to partner with the following organizations to allow this accessibility:
