ANS can be proud of the contributions the organization has made during the past 50 years. While we look back and celebrate our history and many achievements, we also look forward to an exciting future.
ANS members and colleagues are invited to "sign" our guest book. We invite you to share your thoughts on the occasion of our Golden Anniversary.
If you have a remembrance of ANS events, a musing about what being associated with ANS means to you, or an inspiring toast to the Society's future, please share it here!

Little did I know, while interning in the mailroom at ANS during 1979-80 schoolyear, that the co. I worked for had such influence, and was doing such great work. I can't find my ANS plastic football promo anymore, but as my first 'real' job in the world, you have never left my heart. Happy 50th, ANS!

Only a year out of ORSORT (Rickover's "College of Nuclear Knowlege"), I joined ANS as a Charter Member. In the early days the Society was very much fraternal as well as technical.We were a reltively small band of engineers with a dedication to the developement of civilian nuclear power. We were hampered at first by secrecy concerns (the fission cross section for U235 was classified!) but we persisted and over the years, the ANS provided the necessary national image that led to the now 20 percent that nuclear power contributes to the national pwer grid. Carry on!!

The American Nuclear Society has been an inspiration for the European Nuclear Society and for the Spanish Nuclear Society. It is a great honour to be a member of the three Societies and have served them with pleasure. I expect that the life of the three will cover many generations and commemorate many centennial anniversaries.

The ANS was a mainstay throughout my career - a forum to meet and exchange information with my peers, a source of breaking news of developments in the nuclear research field, a workshop on establishing standards common to all, and an opportunity to work with others in advancing the state of the art in many areas of the nuclear enterprise. The technical divisions offer resources for growth to all new people entering the fields they cover. So - Viva the ANS - long may it continue!

I joined ANS in 1958 as a graduate student at VPI. After graduation and employment at ORNL I joined as a professional. ANS played a significant role in my 40 years in nuclear research and development activities. It provided the opportunity to showcase work for the industry, become actively involved in Division and program activities and other governance responsibilities. Through ANS I made and retained lifelong friendships with scientists and engineers from all aspects of the nuclear community. My career was greatly enriched by these many associations. I was able to talk with others and attend paper sessions in topics far afield of my daily activities. ANS was my primary technical society during my work years. Now in retirement, I follow the progress of the society and my friends as I see them carry on the good works that I had the pleasure of active participation in for so many years. ANS will have a strong role in continuing to inform the public of the many developments that continue to enhance their lives because of developments in nuclear medicine, power and commercial applications.

When I first entered the Nuclear Industry I was but a layman. Working not by degree but by guidance and experience. The teachers I have been associated with and have come to revere were ANS members for many years preceding myself. They would be considered among the many as pioneers, however not a title owned by them only. As a lot of us, we continue to learn and develop through the efforts of those many, both members of the ANS and the industry itself. Their hard work has brought nuclear technology to where it is and to where it is heading in the future. It is true that "It takes not one, but all" to continue the move forward in overcoming the ever changing demands and challenges for humanity through clean, safe and consistent nuclear technologies. Lets all look forward to another great 50 years.

They would be considered among the many as pioneers, however not a title owned by them only. As a lot of us, we continue to learn and develop through the efforts of those many, both members of the ANS and the industry itself. Their hard work has brought nuclear technology to where it is and to where it is heading in the future. It is true that "It takes not one, but all" to continue the move forward in overcoming the ever changing demands and challenges for humanity through clean, safe and consistent nuclear technologies. Lets all look forward to another great 50 years.

I am proud to have been and continue to be a member of a professional organization that during my membership and working career took a research science, turned it first into a useful technology and then into a safe and profitable commodity for world-wide application; the very definition of successful engineering, but seldom obtained in a single working career. My congratulations to the ANS on its 50th year and to my many colleagues from all aspects of this journey on an incredible accomplishment.

The last 50 years has seen a legion of outstanding men and women create the fundamental foundation for the future beneficial uses of nuclear technology. The best way to thank them is to keep the dream alive for a clean energy source to power the world, for life-saving medical tools, for treatment approaches that preserve food and prevent disease, for inspection and testing equipment that both protects and makes possible new systems and enhanced designs, and lastly for the future uses and advances in nuclear technology that will take mankind places beyond our current ability to dream. ANS has helped establish that foundation and shown that the future isn't "unclear," it's "nuclear". Congratulations!

I have been affiliated with ANS for nearly half of its fifty years and I am pleased to have participated in the development and implementation of the technology represented by ANS. I believe that the opportunities for the further development and expansion of nuclear power are very strong at this point, particularly as the environmental, societal, and economic benefits become more well known to the public. The next fifty years should be very exciting for those involved in nuclear technology and for the ANS. Happy 50th!

Congratulations to all the people that have devoted countless amounts of their time and energy to make this organization what it is today! It is exciting to be a part of an organization that is helping shape the shared future of the many industries related to nuclear. During this 50th Anniversary year, we should be sure to celebrate our success and remember our mistakes so we do not repeat them. Then we can keep building and being successful for fifty more great years!

Two years ago I had the pleasure of attending the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Nuclear Engineering program at N C State. I'm not sure that I will be able to make this 50th anniversary meeting, but wish us all congratulations on making this organization so vital to this nation. I joined the ANS in 1955 and enjoyed participating in the planning of the first Pittsburgh ANS meeting. The growth in size and stature of the ANS has been a pleasure to witness. I retired after 40 years of working for Westinghouse in the Pittsburgh area, Oak Ridge, Carlsbad, NM, and Aiken, SC. There were many ups and downs, especially disheartening were the downs when programs were canceled, but I would not have wanted to have missed all the work and friends

Congratulations to ANS, and all of its members, on the 50th anniversary. As a national member for over 25 years, I still remember my first national meeting, in San Diego, sitting by the pool in between sessions and talking to Harold Denton about my paper, Licensing of Three Mile Island Unit 2 (a year before March 1979). Little did I know then all the interesting times my colleagues and I would have in the coming years. I have valued my ANS activities, and most importantly the ANS members, throughout my career and I look forward to a continued bright future for nuclear energy.

Summer, 1961, as physics major between freshman and sophomore years, found me working a summer job as tech. assistant with New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, NJ, on the NS Savannah when Dr. Marvin Mann of AEC was involved. This propelled me to pursue nuclear engineering. Worked in the industry from 1966 to '75, GE KAPL Kesselring Site--S3G Operations; lead nuclear engineer for Seabrook Project at Public Service of NH; project engineer/manager for VEPCO Projects at Westinghouse PWR Div. Left industry for seminary and have served as Greek Orthodox Priest for 28 years at St. George Orthodox Church, Charleston, WV. I've continued to promote nuclear power generation from a moral/ethical perspective whenever the opportunity arises.

I joined ANS in 1962 after completing my PhD. I have never regretted it. The meetings and the journals (especially NSE, even though it changes my British English!) have always been a source of interest and comradeship. ANS embodies my feeling of gratitude to the United States for the very positive influence it has had on my professional life. Long may it continue.

Graduating in the late 70's with a NE degree from NC State, with TMI just taking place, I often wondered if I made the right choice. It is so rewarding to see nuclear power emerge from such hard times to being such an important part of our energy mix, being so highly reliable, maintaining clean air and have such an increase in public support. Let us never go back.

First ANS meeting I went to was when Dr Teller spoke at the GE Research lab in Niskayuna NY. Afterward, the Kapl director Henry Stone introduced me to Dr. Teller and since I was one of Rickover's local reps, I relayed a message from him to Adm Rickover that Teller wished to meet. I arranged for the meeting which resulted in Teller's support for the Light Water Breeder Reactor, which ultimately demonstrated Breeding in the U233/ Th232 cycle.

The ANS has had beneficial influences well beyond nuclear technology in its first fifty years. I hope it continues to lead in the areas of risk control, safety awareness, and professionalism. It is indded unfortunate that the story of nuclear has not been fully told. The country would be better off in many ways if more citizens understood the true benefits of nuclear technology as well as the true risks presented. Hearty congratulations to ANS and best wishes for the next fifty! Bill Corcoran Nuclear Safety Review Concepts

I am a relatively new comer to the family of ANS (less than 10 years). The past 50 years of ANS and other international nuclear societies have brought so many (technical and social) advances and benefits to humanity. What I have seen and experienced so far tells me that the members of ANS will enjoy quite a challenging future. The community of ANS will make that future that more exciting, as we can count on each other for support in tough times and celebrate the good times! I am proud to be an ANS member!

I have watched and been involved in the "ups and downs" of the nuclear field over the years. The ANS has always been a steadying force that has helped keep the community together and afloat. Not only has it played a key role for professionals but also has helped bring many young people into the field. As a result, the nuclear community can look ahead to a most exciting next 50 years.
