Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional.

TAE Technologies is located in Foothill Ranch, California, where its National Laboratory-scale fusion device, Norman, performs an average of 650 experiments per month. Named after TAE's technology co-founder Dr. Norman Rostoker, the $150 million machine was constructed from scratch and is fifth in a sequence of seven machines that will help TAE deliver commercial hydrogen-boron fusion – the cleanest, safest, most abundant carbon-free energy source – to the world. TAE will begin construction on its sixth machine, Copernicus, this year.
