ANS > Public Information > Position Statements |
 |
|
The American Nuclear Society provides statements which reflect the Society's perspectives on issues of public interest that involve various aspects of nuclear science and technology. Position statements are prepared by key members whose relevant experience or publications inform the documents and then the documents are reviewed by ANS committees and divisions. The final position statements are approved by the Board of Directors. The position statements are available below in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. You can also search the contents of the documents using the search box below. |
