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.

Nuclear News 40 Under 40 discuss the future of nuclear
Seven members of the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 came together on March 4 to discuss the current state of nuclear energy and what the future might hold for science, industry, and the public in terms of nuclear development.
To hear more insights from this talented group of young professionals, watch the “40 Under 40 Roundtable: Perspectives from Nuclear’s Rising Stars” on the ANS website.

By using a twin-gridded ionization chamber, differential cross-section data of the 64Zn(n,)61Ni reaction were measured at neutron energies of 2.54, 4.00, and 5.50 MeV. The experiment was performed at the 4.5-MV Van de Graaff accelerator of the Institute of Heavy Ion Physics, Peking University, China. Monoenergetic neutrons of 2.54 MeV were produced through the T(p,n)3He reaction with a solid Ti-T target, and those of 4.00 and 5.50 MeV were produced through the D(d,n)3He reaction with a deuterium gas target. The absolute neutron flux was determined through the 238U(n,f) reaction and a BF3 long counter was used as the neutron flux monitor. Results of the present work are combined with our previous data between 5.0 and 6.5 MeV and compared with other measurements and evaluations.
