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.

When your test capsule is the test: ORNL’s 3D-printed rabbit
Oak Ridge National Laboratory has, for the first time, designed, printed, and irradiated a specimen capsule—or rabbit capsule—for use in its High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the Department of Energy announced on January 15.

Neutron capture cross sections have been measured for 169Tm from 3 to 2000 keV at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator 40-m station. The data were analyzed for individual resonance parameters up to 4.2 keV. Average strength functions have been deduced. Compound nucleus calculations, made with deformed optical model parameters, agree with experimental cross sections. Our cross sections for lower neutron energies tend to be somewhat less than those from earlier measurements.
