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.

Candidates for leadership provide statements: ANS Board of Directors
With the annual ANS election right around the corner, American Nuclear Society members will be going to the polls to vote for a vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and members-at-large for the Board of Directors. In January, Nuclear News published statements from candidates for vice president/president-elect and treasurer. This month, we are featuring statements from each nominee for the Board of Directors.

Fast-neutron irradiation experiments were performed on a series of solution-treated, aged, and cold-worked copper-rich Cu-Fe alloys. The results obtained by electrical and magnetic measurements confirm data reported earlier that fast-neutron irradiation can cause aging or re-solution depending upon the pre-irradiation condition of the sample. The results obtained on the aged alloys are consistent with a displacement spike model, where the calculated value for the spike radius is approximately 35 Å (15 000 atoms).
