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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

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.

Radial particle transport in GAMMA 10 was investigated under a quasi-steady state condition plasma. The transport analysis was carried out with changing the boundary conditions, in order to reconstruct the density profile which is consistent with the measured data. From the above result, the best fit profile to the measured one was obtained with the diffusivity of 0.57 m2/s. The particle diffusivity in an additional gas puffing experiment was estimated. The result of the transport analysis was also compared with the diffusion coefficient expected from classical diffusion processes.
