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
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. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

It has been eight years since the last ANFM meeting. Since then, nuclear fuel management has changed significantly with the introduction of new fuel designs, advanced technology fuel (ATF), and longer cycle lengths. In the near future, we will see increased enrichments and increased burnup limits in light water reactors (LWRs). In addition, many new advanced reactor concepts are being planned that will require economical fuel cycles and the introduction of new fuel types. On top of this, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications loom on the horizon with the promise of increased efficiency. Join us in sunny Clearwater Beach as international representatives from fuel vendors, utilities, support organizations, national laboratories, and universities get together to share and discuss the latest developments in nuclear fuel management. The conference will include plenary sessions, technical sessions, panel sessions, and workshops.
