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.

Keeping up with Kewaunee
In October 2012, Dominion Energy announced it was closing the Kewaunee nuclear power plant, a two-loop 574-MWe pressurized water reactor located about 27 miles southeast of Green Bay, Wis., on the western shore of Lake Michigan. At the time, Dominion said the plant was running well, but that low wholesale electricity prices in the region made it uneconomical to continue operation of the single-unit merchant power plant.

Numerical calculations performed on the ORACLE have made possible exact inclusion of the effect of Doppler broadening of resonance lines in the calculation of resonance absorption integrals. The effective resonance integrals of U238 and Th232 have been calculated as functions of the scattering cross section per absorbing nucleus for 0° and 300°K. Agreement of the calculated (300°K) and experimental resonance integrals is excellent for U238 and good for Th232, except in the case of pure ThO2 where a discrepancy is noted.
