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.

A recently developed technology for the consolidation and fabrication of high-quality small-diameter (< 5 mm) thin-wall (< 0.55 mm) tubing of 20wt%Ti-V alloy is described. Compacted vanadium chip and titanium sponge feed rods are electron-beam melted, followed by arc melting of the electron-beam ingot. The arc-cast ingot breakdown is by extrusion. Tube blanks are produced by a secondary extrusion operation. The tube blanks are cold finished by swaging and drawing to the final tube size with intermediate vacuum anneals as required. Problems and solutions are discussed.
