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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Fabrication milestone for INL’s MARVEL microreactor
A team from Idaho National Laboratory and the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) recently visited Carolina Fabricators Inc. (CFI), in West Columbia, S.C., to launch the fabrication process for the primary coolant system of the MARVEL microreactor. Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA), which manages INL, awarded the CFI contract in January.

Volatilization of I34Cs from simulated high-level waste glass in a canister during several reheatings up to a maximum of 1000°C was examined. The results showed that the temperature dependence of the amount of 134Cs suspended in the air inside the canister could be divided into two categories. As the temperature was increased above 500°C, the amount of 134Cs suspended in the air inside the canister also increased. On the other hand, for temperatures <500°C, the amount of 134Cs suspended in the air inside the canister had an almost constant value after several reheatings up to a maximum of 1000°C. In this case, the air contamination by cesium-bearing material inside the canister is considered to be significant even at waste storage temperatures <500°C.
