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.

Regional enclaves of industry and associations of neighboring universities have devised formalized programs for providing internship experiences for graduate students and residencies for post-doctoral fellows. As an example of the former, seven years' activity of the Summer Engineering Practice School at Argonne National Laboratory is reviewed. Subsequent performance of former students has shown clear evidence of maturation resulting from early contact with working scientists. By-products have been significant industrial contributions by the students, and useful exchanges between industrial and academic scientists associated with the students.
