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
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

X-energy, Dow apply to build an advanced reactor project in Texas
Dow and X-energy announced today that they have submitted a construction permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a proposed advanced nuclear project in Seadrift, Texas. The project could begin construction later this decade, but only if Dow confirms “the ability to deliver the project while achieving its financial return targets.”

In order to enhance the capability to perform realistic analyses of the core neutronic behavior and the plant system dynamics in respect of accidents with asymmetric core power such as main team line break (MSLB), a three-dimensional reactor kinetics model has been incorporated into a system thermal-hydraulic (T/H) code. In this study, we developed a PARCS core model for coupling with a TRACE 3D T/H model for the reactor vessel and performed a steady-state calculation prior to a MSLB accident for the Advanced Power Reactor-1400 plant.
