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.

Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

Inventory levels at most all of our nuclear facilities continue to grow while economic pressures would dictate better uses of the financial resources. In fact, a reduction of inventory levels is desired without inappropriately increasing operational risk to the sites. Complicating the equation on balancing of risk is the increasing obsolescence of materials, a declining supplier base, digital influx in the I&C arena, and loss of utility inventories as plants close. This session will be a workshop in which various inventory management related topics will be discussed with the goal of a white paper for utilities to use as a reference document for individual inventory optimization programs. In addition, the results of this workshop will also be reviewed at the annual Nuclear Supply Chain Strategic Leaders (NSCSL) conference to be held later this conference week. Topics to be discussed are inventory reduction success examples, use of “repair warehouses,” critical spare identifications, End-of-Life stocking algorithms, and other issues now confronting our inventory managers.
