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
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

Measurements of neutron production by the proton bombardment of range-thick targets of Pb and of W at energies of 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 GeV are made for comparison with calculations based on the LAHET code system (LAHET + MCNP) and also with each of two previous experiments. The code estimate of tritium production in the apparatus via the n(3He,t)p reaction is also compared with the present measurements.
