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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

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.

PPPL is presently preparing TFTR for D-T operation beginning the summer of 1993. Included in this preparation is the design and installation of a Tritium Gas Delivery and Injection System which will supply tritium to the TFTR vacuum vessel. The Gas Delivery System will be required to deliver the tritium gas from the Tritium Vault which is located in the TFTR basement to various components located on the TFTR device located in the Test Cell. These components include three Tritium Gas Injection Assemblies (TGIA); twelve Tritium Neutral Beam Injectors (TNB); and the Tritium Pellet Injector (TPI). The Tritium Gas Delivery System which will be described in this paper will include a double walled supply manifold plus the TGIA's.
