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.

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.

The differential elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections of 3.23- and 4.03-MeV neutrons were measured for gallium samples. A multiple scattering correction has been used to correct the experimental data. Optical model fitting and the Hauser-Feshbach method were used to calculate the theoretical elastic and inelastic differential cross sections.
