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
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.
Meeting Spotlight

On the installations AMBAL-M and MAL in turbulent plasma column the longitudinal current of some kiloampers was measured. The fluctuation spectrum of magnetic field was measured by azimuthal magnetic probes and expansion of plasma current by spatial modes was carried out.
According to the experimental data the amplitudes of currents In, sizes Rn and shifts from axis of simmetry ΔRn for 3rd (40kHz) and 5th (72kHz) basic modes were calculated.
