The Nuclear Installations Safety Division (NISD) is one of ANS's largest divisions. NISD is explicitly devoted to the safety of nuclear installations and the health and safety of the public; this division seeks a better understanding of the role of safety in the design, construction, and operation of nuclear installation facilities.
The Advanced Reactor Safety (ARS) conference, formerly entitled the International Topical Meeting on Advanced Reactor Safety and first held in 1994, is one of two conferences the Nuclear Installations Safety Division (NISD) has historically sponsored to support information sharing and networking across the safety community.
Thirty years from the first ARS conference, please join us in our NISD & ARS Networking Event to meet with the conference organizers, NISD EC officers, and committee members! The first drink is on us, and light appetizers will be provided.
