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
Isotopes & Radiation
Members are devoted to applying nuclear science and engineering technologies involving isotopes, radiation applications, and associated equipment in scientific research, development, and industrial processes. Their interests lie primarily in education, industrial uses, biology, medicine, and health physics. Division committees include Analytical Applications of Isotopes and Radiation, Biology and Medicine, Radiation Applications, Radiation Sources and Detection, and Thermal Power Sources.

The differential elastic- and inelastic-scattering cross sections of 10B, 11B, natural Ge, and 93Nb have been measured at incident neutron energies of 7.02 and 7.55 MeV for 10B; 7.55 MeV for 11B; 7.55 MeV for Ge; and 5.95 and 7.47 MeV for 93Nb. The cross sections were measured with a neutron time-of-flight spectrometer relative to the cross section for neutron scattering from hydrogen.
