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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

Bus will depart and return to the Shilo
Join us for a tour of Idaho National Laboratory’s Materials and Fuels Complex. This tour will consist of visiting the Transient Reactor Test Facility, the Hot Fuel Examination Facility, Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory, the Space and Security Power Systems Facility, and discussions on the Experimental Breeder Reactor II Dome. These facilities are used to test and analyze future nuclear fuels, small modular and micro-reactor concepts and provide nuclear power systems for NASA and other customers. Come see the future of nuclear power at Idaho National Laboratory!
Lunch will be provided by INL.
Capacity is limited to 90 participants so register now!
