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.
Meeting Spotlight
Conference on Nuclear Training and Education: A Biennial International Forum (CONTE 2025)
February 3–6, 2025

“Summer time” again? Santee Cooper thinks so
South Carolina public utility Santee Cooper and its partner South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) called a halt to the Summer-2 and -3 AP1000 construction project in July 2017, citing costly delays and the bankruptcy of Westinghouse. The well-chronicled legal fallout included indictments and settlements, and ultimately left Santee Cooper with the ownership of nonnuclear assets at the construction site in Jenkinsville, S.C.

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.
