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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

DOE-EM continues to be plagued by staffing shortages, GAO says
Despite efforts to increase hiring, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management continues to be understaffed, according to a recent Government Accountability Office report. The GAO found that, at the end of fiscal year 2023, DOE-EM had 263 vacant positions across its headquarters, cleanup sites, and EM Consolidated Business Center, resulting in a vacancy rate of 17 percent. The office is responsible for the cleanup of the environmental legacy resulting from decades of nuclear weapons production and government-sponsored nuclear energy research.

High resolution measurements of the total neutron cross section from 200 eV to ∼50 keV in natural copper have been performed using time-of-flight techniques. From the R-matrix analysis of the data, values of E0, Γn, Jπ of resonances, strength functions, and average level spacings are obtained. For in units of eV−1/2 were obtained. Similarly, the average level spacings are determined for 63Cu⟨D⟩ J = 1 = (2.38 ± 0.38) keV, ⟨D⟩J = 2 = (3.57 ± 0.70) keV and for 65Cu⟨D⟩J = 1 = (3.85 ± 0.88) keV and ⟨D⟩J = 2 = (5.0 ± 1.2) keV.
