Description

Established in 1984, the ANS Standards Service Award recognizes outstanding achievement by individuals in the generation and use of ANS standards in the field of nuclear science and engineering. The purpose of the award is to identify and honor those individuals who have made significant contributions to the development of ANS nuclear standards accepted by recognized authorities as the most practical and appropriate criteria and methods to safely implement good working practices and responses to regulatory initiatives.

The award consists of an engraved plaque including the name of the recipient(s), the date the award was granted, and a formal citation of 50 words or less, serving as a basis for the award. The award may not be given more frequently than once a year, at the winter meeting of the Society, but may be presented to more than one individual if merit warrants.
