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.

The density and diameter of plasma obtained In the central solenoid of the fully axisymmetric ambipolar mirror trap AMBAL-M are sufficient enough for ioncyclotron heating using fast waves, which provides plasma heating at the axis. At present the experiment on such ICR heating of the solenoid plasma is under preparation. The heating will be carried out two semiloop antennas installed in the end of the solenoid. For protection from the impact of the edge plasma, the antennas are equipped with Faraday shields and graphite limiters with slanted slits.
