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
Isotopes & Radiation
Members are devoted to applying nuclear science and engineering technologies involving isotopes, radiation applications, and associated equipment in scientific research, development, and industrial processes. Their interests lie primarily in education, industrial uses, biology, medicine, and health physics. Division committees include Analytical Applications of Isotopes and Radiation, Biology and Medicine, Radiation Applications, Radiation Sources and Detection, and Thermal Power Sources.

State legislation: Colorado redefines nuclear as “clean energy resource”
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill into law on Monday that adds nuclear to the state’s clean energy portfolio—making nuclear power eligible for new sources of project financing at the state, county, and city levels.

A 16-channel microwave interferometer with the phase imaging method has been reconstructed to obtain the radial plasma density distributions at the west plug cell in the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror. Signals measured by the interferometer have DC offsets, which cause a measurable error in the phase imaging measurement system. We propose the method to eliminate DC offsets from the signals in each channel easily on the analysis software.
