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.

A new structure of RF control of plasma for electric propulsion has been proposed. With excitation characteristics of a helical antenna and propagation characteristics of waves with rotating field, both plasma production and ion heating will be expected simultaneously by employing a single helical antenna. Basic experiments to examine the proposed structure have been performed, showing consistent results with expected scenario.
