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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has sponsored multiple research programs that benefit research and development of advanced reactors. MEITNER and GEMINA programs are two excellent examples among others. These programs further advance the U.S. nuclear energy technologies and increase economic competitiveness of advanced reactors. Thermal-hydraulics research plays an indispensable role in the development, deployment, and operation of advanced nuclear technologies and an important part of these programs. This panel invites panelists to participate in the discussions on the recent status of these ARPA-E supported projects, with the focus on their advances and impacts related to thermal-hydraulics.
