ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

DOE puts $9.35 million toward high-energy-density plasma research
The Department of Energy’s Office of Science (DOE-SC) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) on July 27 announced $9.35 million for 21 research projects in high-energy-density laboratory plasmas. High-energy-density (HED) plasma research, originally developed to support the U.S. nuclear weapons program, has applications in astrophysics, fusion power plant development, medicine, nuclear and particle physics, and radioisotope production.

Wireless technologies have found their way into the existing fleet of nuclear reactors for equipment condition assessment, voice and data communication, and process monitoring. Power plants throughout the world are in various stages of this implementation. The goal of this panel is to provide a status of wireless technology deployment within the nuclear industry, discuss the existing and potential future applications for the technology, outline the obstacles to its implementation including methods for addressing these barriers, and provide insight into future research needs to expand the use of wireless technologies. Panelists from around the globe will provide a short presentation on their activities within this area followed by a moderated Q&A session.
