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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

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.

We present a multilevel method for solving multigroup neutron transport k-eigenvalue problems in two-dimensional Cartesian geometry. It is based on the nonlinear diffusion acceleration (NDA) method. The multigroup low-order NDA (LONDA) equations are formulated on a sequence of energy grids. Various multigrid cycles are applied to solve the hierarchy of multigrid LONDA equations. The algorithms developed accelerate transport iterations and are effective in solving the multigroup NDA low-order equations. We present numerical results for model reactor-physics problems with a large number of groups to demonstrate the performance of different iterative schemes.
