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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

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.

Neutron scattering cross sections were measured for 14N and 9Be at incident neutron energies of 11, 14, and 17 MeV using time-of-flight methods. Angular distributions for 14N and 9Be elastic scattering and 9Be inelastic scattering to the 2.429-MeV excited state were obtained between 20 and 160 deg in 5-deg increments. The data were corrected for finite geometry effects using a Monte Carlo simulation code. Legendre polynomial coefficients deduced by fitting the experimental data are tabulated. The results of a spherical optical model analysis for the 14N data are reported. Coulomb correction terms are obtained from a comparison of neutron and proton elastic scattering data for 14N.
