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.

Plant signals from the Borssele nuclear power plant in the Netherlands were analyzed to investigate the characteristics of neutron flux fluctuation in the low-frequency range 0 to 0.5 Hz, focusing on its spatially coherent motion. The second azimuthal oscillation mode was observed at the frequency of ~0.03 Hz while the corewide oscillation mode was at ~0.1 Hz, and the fluctuation at the corewide mode was much stronger.
