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.

A beta-gamma coincidence counting technique was developed to analyze nuclide pairs such as Zr95-Nb95 and Ru103-Ru106 that are unresolvable by gamma spectrometry. The method provides a means of correcting the count rate for solids on the sample plate so that solids-free mounts or mounts on thin films are not required.
