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.

ICRS 14/RPSD 2022 speaker
Dr. Loughlin has been working in nuclear fusion since the mid-1980s. He obtained his Ph.D. from Birmingham University in the UK, developing neutron diagnostics for fusion reactors. He was involved in the first deuterium and tritium experiments in JET and TFTR in the 1990’s, measuring new world records for fusion power on three occasions. From 2007 to 2022, he was the Coordinator of Nuclear Analysis and Shielding at ITER and led the effort in the design of nuclear shielding for the ITER facility. He is now a Distinguished R&D Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He was elected as a Fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2020.
