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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

In Part A a procedure is described for calculating neutron fluxes at nodes of a three dimensional grid with few points in planes perpendicular to a selected axis. Difference equations relating fluxes within each plane are determined in advance from detailed two dimensional studies. This “multichannel synthesis” model may be used for parameter studies and dynamic analysis. Comparison of a representative calculation with results of a detailed three-dimensional computation is given in Part B.
