Can hydrogen be the transportation fuel in an otherwise nuclear economy?
Let’s face it: The global economy should be powered primarily by nuclear power. And it probably will by the end of this century, with a still-significant assist from renewables and hydro. Once nuclear systems are dominant, the costs come down to where gas is now; and when carbon emissions are reduced to a small portion of their present state, it will become obvious that most other sources are only good in niche settings. I mean, why use small modular reactors to load-follow when they can just produce that power instead of buffering it?
ANS provides excellent opportunities for organizations like yours to connect with other entities and individuals in the nuclear science and technology field, across all industry concentrations. Whether you are looking to gain insight, find that next employee, promote your services, or collaborate with another organization, you will find what you are looking for in our membership ranks. By joining forces with ANS as an Organization Member (OM), your entity stands with more than 10,000 other individual and 80 Organization Members to create a unified voice in support of nuclear.
As an Organization Member, your dues directly contribute to advancing the future of nuclear science and technology through representation in Washington, D.C., public outreach initiatives, K-12 education initiatives, workforce development, the development of standards, and the exchange of research and knowledge through publications and ANS meetings, and much more. Add your organization's name to our continually expanding roster of nuclear industry leaders who value, support, and enhance their field.
For rates and more information see the online or print/mail application/renewal form. All memberships are on an anniversary cycle.
Organization Members are recognized on the online Organization Member roster, with a complimentary link back to your website, and in the Nuclear News Buyers Guide. Organization Members exhibiting at the Winter Meeting also receive a special sign to display at their booth.
Significant Discounts and Booth Perks

American Nuclear Society member dues are not used for contributions to political parties or candidates or for independent expenditures on behalf of parties or candidates. Less than 1/10 of 1.0% (or 0.1%) of dues money goes to lobbying efforts. In the case of someone at the $195 dues level, this would be approximately 19 cents.
