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.

Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

This collection of practical suggestions should prove useful to workers at tritium installations where gloveboxes and cleanup systems are used, or where upgrades to such systems are anticipated. These tips are effective approaches to meeting today's stringent containment requirements, and include many applications and extensions of accepted tritium practice, plus a few innovations of our own. The subjects covered are tritium piping systems, glovebox operations, personnel protection, tritium monitoring, and contamination control. Some specific problems arising out of recent experience are also discussed, along with some tentative solutions.
