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
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

Hydrogen diffusivity and solubility in Inconel 600 were determined with a gas-absorption method using tritiated hydrogen gas in a temperature range from 573 K to 973 K. The temperature dependence of diffusivity D and solubility S were obtained as,D (cm2s−1) = 1.3 x 10−2 exp(−50.6/(RT / kJ)),S (cm3(NTP)cm−3Pa−0.5) = 4.7 x 10−3 exp(−11.7 /(RT / kJ)).
