We're excited to share an outstanding program for the 2025 ANS NCSD topical conference. With over 100 high quality papers submitted, this year's schedule is stacked with top-notch speakers and presentations. Sessions cover topics ranging from nuclear data and criticality accidents to professional development and knowledge transfer.
With increased engagement from young professionals in the paper writing and presentation process, we're packing more into each session. New this year, session formats will combine both full length, 20-minute presentations and 10-minute lightning talks.
We're especially excited about these sessions that are generating a lot of buzz!
