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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

When your test capsule is the test: ORNL’s 3D-printed rabbit
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has, for the first time, designed, printed, and irradiated a specimen capsule—or rabbit capsule—for use in its High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the Department of Energy announced on January 15.

Differential cross sections for 22 gamma rays produced by neutron interactions with elemental copper having energies Eγ between 0.36 and 2.5 MeV have been measured for neutron energies En between 0.7 and 10.5 MeV for θγ = 90 deg using a Ge(Li) detector system. The present data are compared with previously reported measurements; agreement with earlier reported data is generally good for En < 3 MeV and generally poor for En > 4 MeV.
