Communities
- 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.

Talking About Low-dose Radiation Risk

January 21, 2021|11:00AM–12:00PM (12:00–1:00PM EST)

Members ANS Members Only

ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.

Join us for a special Q&A with an expert panel as they discuss how to communicate about the risk of low-dose radiation. This free members-only event is a follow-up to the “Risky Business” President’s Session that took place during the ANS Virtual Winter Meeting in November (watch the session below). The session will take a deeper dive into the many questions generated from the thought-provoking discussion.

Topics addressed will include:

How do we get “Reasonable” put back into the implementation of ALARA? What government/industry players must come together to make this happen?
What can scientists/engineers do to help dispel myths about radiation and nuclear and explain their benefits?
What can we learn from how other industries manage risk?
