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.

Nuclear News 40 Under 40 discuss the future of nuclear
Seven members of the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 came together on March 4 to discuss the current state of nuclear energy and what the future might hold for science, industry, and the public in terms of nuclear development.
To hear more insights from this talented group of young professionals, watch the “40 Under 40 Roundtable: Perspectives from Nuclear’s Rising Stars” on the ANS website.

The emission probability of the 312-keV gamma ray from the decay of 27-day 233Pa has been measured. A 4π beta-gamma coincidence counting system was used to determine the 233Pa sample disintegration rates, and Ge(Li) spectrometers were used to measure the gamma-ray emission rates. The resulting value for the emission probability is Iγ (312 keV) = (38.6 ± 0.5) photon/100 decays. The relative intensities of the K x rays and gamma rays emitted in the decay of 233Pa were also measured.
