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.

Membrane detritiation processes using gas permeation membrane have the advantages of being simple in system configuration and compact in size compared to conventional oxidation followed by adsorption process. The experiment was performed using a gas separation module made of a polyimide membrane with dry nitrogen gas containing small amount of hydrogen gas and moisture, and an analytical study was performed to establish the theoretical treatments of the membrane separation of hydrogen, water from nitrogen. The experimental and analytical study revealed that the membrane separation process has a high selectivity for hydrogen and water from nitrogen, especially separation performance for water is very high. The effect of operation parameters on the separation performance can be predicted, and the design of the detritiation system of a fusion reactor facility can be constructed based on the present study.
