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.
Meeting Spotlight
International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2025)
April 27–30, 2025
Denver, CO|The Westin Denver Downtown
Standards Program
The Standards Committee is responsible for the development and maintenance of voluntary consensus standards that address the design, analysis, and operation of components, systems, and facilities related to the application of nuclear science and technology.

Framatome opens new fuel workshop for research reactors and medical targets
Framatome announced that it has inaugurated a new workshop dedicated to the fabrication of fuel for research reactors and targets for medical isotopes at the company’s Romans-sur-Isère site in France. The workshops are part of Framatome’s CERCA division, which manufactures fuel and irradiation targets for research reactors.
13th Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control & Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC&HMIT 2023)
Dr. Christopher Poresky is the Manager of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) in the Instrumentation, Controls, & Electrical (IC&E) Department at Kairos Power. The CPS team designs and maintains Kairos human-machine interfaces, datalogging and communications infrastructure, and operations and maintenance strategies for Kairos test systems big and small including the Kairos Power Fluoride-Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR) design. These products empower the Kairos team to learn from its design, build, and test activities in real time and feed learnings into next iterations so that the KP-FHR can provide clean, affordable energy.
Previously, Dr. Poresky was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. He obtained a Ph.D. and M.S. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley as well as a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey – New Brunswick.
