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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

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.

Boiling mercury corrosion has been studied in natural-circulation once-through 2¼ Cr-1Mo steel loops operating at 315 to 703°C and 300 psi for 5000 h at a flow rate of ≈11.5 kg/h. The corrosion inhibition resulting from the presence of solid titanium or zirconium at the boiler inlet was determined by comparison with an uninhibited loop operating under similar conditions. No boiler corrosion was found in the inhibited loops, but the uninhibited loop had 20–25 µ boiler corrosion.
