Download Nomination Form

Established by ANS in 1958, this award was established as a memorial to the late Mark Mills in recognition of his significant contributions to nuclear science and engineering. It is awarded to the graduate student author who submits the best original technical paper contributing to the advancement of science and engineering related to the atomic nucleus.

To be eligible for the award, the student must have been registered in a graduate degree program in a recognized institution of higher learning for one year prior to the award, and the student’s faculty advisor must make a certification of this fact on the nomination form. Thus, this competition is open to a graduate student completing the work on which his or her paper is based from a minimum of 4 months prior to the award to a maximum of 16 months prior to the award.

The paper should demonstrate originality and ingenuity and should be in a form suitable for publication. A thesis is not acceptable. A paper already published or submitted for publication is eligible if nominated by the faculty advisor. A paper jointly authored is eligible if the candidate has the primary responsibility. Nominations are made by the student's faculty advisor. Multiple nominees by one nominator, nomination of past recipients of the award, and multiple-year nominations of the same paper are prohibited. Forms are available from ANS Headquarters or may be obtained from this web site. An engraved plaque and a monetary award are presented at the ANS Winter Meeting.

Eight sets of the nomination form and paper must be received before June 1.
