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
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.

Argonne’s METL gears up to test more sodium fast reactor components
Argonne National Laboratory has successfully swapped out an aging cold trap in the sodium test loop called METL (Mechanisms Engineering Test Loop), the Department of Energy announced April 23. The upgrade is the first of its kind in the United States in more than 30 years, according to the DOE, and will help test components and operations for the sodium-cooled fast reactors being developed now.

SUBMISSION OF SUMMARIES: JUNE 24, 2025
AUTHOR NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE: JULY 21, 2025
REVISED SUMMARIES DUE: JULY 31, 2025
The Advances in Nonproliferation Technology and Policy Conference (ANTPC) is sponsored by the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and seeks to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies.
Submissions should contain new data and investigations in scientific or program areas that are of general interest, address problems of interdisciplinary significance, or include in-depth discussions of scientific and technical issues or waste management regulatory and policy issues. Summaries are presented orally at the conference, and presenters are expected to register for the conference. All submissions must be in English. Non-U.S. attendees requesting a visa invitation letter: registrar@ans.org.
Summaries should be a maximum of four (4) pages and a minimum of one (1) page; references, tables, figures, and acknowledgements are counted as pages. Authors will be billed a per page charge of $100 for all pages over four.
General guidance for Summary Content:
The list of topics below is meant as guidance for areas of particular interest. Summaries in areas not specifically mentioned but part of the conference scope are encouraged. Contributions from international, next-generation experts, and university communities are highly encouraged.
