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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

A multichannel space-time synthesis model for the calculation of nonseparable reactor transients is developed from a variational functional which admits expansion functions that are discontinuous in space and time. In each of many spatial regions, the flux during each interval of time is expanded in known functions of position with unknown expansion coefficients. The accuracy of the method, and its superiority with respect to the conventional single-channel space-time synthesis method, are demonstrated by several numerical examples.
