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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

This panel is dedicated to honor the contributions and legacy of Dr. Paul Turinsky, who initially organized the sequence of ANFM meetings starting back in 1987 in Pinehurst, NC. There have been five previous ANFM meetings, with this meeting being the sixth.
Dr. Turinsky mentored many graduate students, postdocs, and researchers during his professorship at NC State University, many of which have had impactful careers in the areas of reactor physics, nuclear fuel management optimization, and uncertainty quantification & sensitivity/data analysis.
This panel will be hosted by a handful of Dr. Turinsky’s former students and mentees to help highlight the broad impact he has had over various technical areas that continue to flourish within the scope of the ANFM meetings and beyond.
