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.

Differential cross sections and angle-integrated cross sections of the 6Li(n,t)4He reaction were measured at En = 1.05, 1.54, and 2.25 MeV by using the gridded ionization chamber method. A 6LiF sample and a 238U sample were set back-to-back inside the twin chamber for measurement. Neutrons were produced through the T(p,n)3He reaction. The absolute neutron flux for En = 2.25 MeV was determined by the 238U(n,f) reaction, and those for En = 1.54 MeV and En = 1.05 MeV were determined by a calibrated BF3 long counter. Present results are compared with existing data.
