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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

NRC begins special inspection at Hope Creek
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting a special inspection at Hope Creek nuclear plant in New Jersey to investigate the cause of repeated inoperability of one of the plant’s emergency diesel generators, the agency announced in a February 25 news release.

Neutron cross sections have been measured for 10B and 11B. Elastic angular distribution data for 10B are reported for incident neutron energies of 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, and 14.0 MeV. Elastic scattering data and inelastic scattering data for states at excitation energies of 2.14, 4.46, and 5.04 MeV in 11B are reported for incident neutron energies of 8.0, 9.0, 9.7, 9.9, 11.0, 12.0, 13.0, and 14.0 MeV. Legendre coefficients for angular distributions are obtained. All data are corrected for finite geometry and multiple scattering effects through a light-element Monte Carlo code. The angle integrated data for 11B are in disagreement with ENDF/B-IV for the higher neutron energies.
