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.

The original mission of TLK was the development of tritium technologies for the fuel cycle of fusion reactors. As a result of past R&D work TLK now has many similarities with the proposed ITER Tritium Plant. Because of its complete tritium infrastructure and its long lasting experience in tritium processing the TLK was chosen to host the Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino experiment KATRIN. KATRIN will allow for model-independent measurements of the neutrino mass scale and thus should help to clarify the role of neutrinos in the early universe. The future of TLK is R&D ‘between fusion and cosmology’ based on its key competences, namely tritium technology and the closed tritium loop.
