Download Nomination Form
This award was established to recognize outstanding personal dedication and technical achievement by a woman for work she has performed in the fields of nuclear science, engineering, research, or education.  The woman need not be an ANS member, but should be affiliated with the nuclear community in some manner.  An engraved plaque and a monetary award is presented at the ANS Winter Meeting.

This award is made to recognize outstanding achievements by women who might not have the tenure or visibility to be considered for the other awards of the Society.  This action is taken to fulfill a need to provide role models to students and younger members of the Society as well as to stimulate greater interest and participation among women members.

The award is to be given to a woman whose work in the field of engineering, education or research meets the following criteria:
  1. Technical leadership for work performed in her subject area, i.e., she should have a key role in establishing a new curriculum, or have been instrumental in the success of a major research or design effort.
  2. This award may be given for lifetime achievement or for a singular outstanding contribution to the technical community.
  3. The woman does not have to be a member of ANS, but she should be affiliated with the nuclear community in some manner.
Eight sets of the nomination form and supporting documents must be received by July 1.
