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.

A preliminary study on the direct-contact condensation in the ITER pressure suppression tank during the ICE event was performed experimentally and analytically. The water-vapor two phase flow behavior in the depressurized water tank was investigated by the flow visualization experiment and it was found that the present numerical approach is very effective to predict the condensation effect in the ITER suppression tank during the ICE event.
