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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

Fighting fatigue and maintaining 10 CFR Part 26 compliance
Fatigue has been identified as a major risk factor in industrial accidents. According to the National Safety Council, 13 percent of workplace injuries can be attributed to fatigue.1 Other research indicates that working 12 hours per day is associated with a staggering 37 percent increase in risk of injury.2 Considering fatigue was a contributing factor to major nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, it makes sense that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission imposes hefty fines to ensure strict adherence to its fatigue management regulations—particularly, Code of Federal Regulations Title 10, Part 26, “Fitness for Duty Programs.”

FULL PAPER DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2024
FULL PAPERS NOTIFICATION TO AUTHORS: DECEMBER 13, 2024
FINAL FULL PAPERS DUE: JANUARY 10, 2025
The International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2025) is part of a series of topical meetings organized by the Mathematics and Computation Division of the American Nuclear Society. M&C conferences, held every two years, represent a series of international forums organized and sponsored to bring together worldwide expertise related to nuclear science or technology, including mathematical and computational methods, numerical analysis, computer codes, computer architectures, and benchmarks for computationally solving problems in all disciplines encompassed by the Society.
Submit full papers describing work that is of value to the mathematics and computation community and to nuclear science and energy in general. Papers are presented at the meeting, and presenters are expected to register for the meeting. Papers will be scheduled for either a podium or poster presentation at the discretion of the meeting organizers. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference’s proceedings. Published papers become the property of ANS. Under no circumstances should a paper be published in any other publication before presentation at the M&C 2025 meeting. An ANS copyright form is required for all papers.
We are soliciting full papers with a maximum of 10 pages. Use the provided Word or LaTeX templates. Papers not formatted according to the template will be rejected. Papers exceeding 10 pages will be rejected. If an exception is made and a paper exceeding 10 pages is accepted, page charges are $100/page for p. 11 and above. Your paper should be submitted in PDF format. Do not include headers, footers, page numbers, bookmarks, text highlighting, or hyperlinks to references, figures, and tables in the text of your paper in your final PDF document. Do not save your document as “read only.” For the title of the paper, Capitalize the First Letter of Major Words; do not use all capital letters. Do not use all capital letters for any part of any author’s name. Enter the names of all authors into the Authors page in the EPSR. List the authors in the same order in which their names appear on the paper. Authors’ affiliations should match the affiliation provided on the paper itself. If an author has multiple affiliations, enter the one that should be included in the program and in the meeting proceedings.
We welcome and encourage students to submit papers to this conference. Please ensure that papers for which the Primary Author is a student are identified as such in the yes/no student- status question in the Authors section of the EPSR. Judges will use this information to identify the conference’s best student papers, which will receive a cash prize. A “student paper” is a paper whose first author and presenter are a student. A person is considered to be a “student” if they are enrolled as a student while the work is completed and they give the presentation either: (a) while enrolled as a student or (b) within 12 months of the completion of their last degree.
All authors will be invited to submit a full-length journal article for a special issue of Nuclear Science and Engineering following the conference.
