Consensus Committees

The American Nuclear Society currently supports eight consensus committees. A consensus committee is the balanced body that conducts the consensus ballot on proposed standards in order for them to become official, approved standards. Each consensus committee has a defined scope of activities. The eight ANS consensus committees are as follows:

• Environmental and Siting Consensus Committee (ESCC)
• Fuel, Waste, and Decommissioning Consensus Committee (FWDCC)
• ANS/ASME Joint Committee on Nuclear Risk Management (JCNRM)
• Large Light Water Reactor Consensus Committee (LLWRCC)
• Nuclear Criticality Safety Consensus Committee (NCSCC)
• Nonreactor Nuclear Facilities Consensus Committee (NRNFCC)
• Research and Advanced Reactors Consensus Committee (RARCC)
• Safety and Radiological Analyses Consensus Committee (SRACC)
