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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

The EBRFLOW program has been developed for determining the detailed coolant flow distribution in the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) primary system. Pertinent results obtained from the code include a determination of the changes in core pressure drop and flow distribution with core loading changes and a comparison of the measured and EBRFLOW-predicted flow rates through an instrumented subassembly for EBR-II runs 42 through 48E.
