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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

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.
NUCLEAR AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES FOR SPACE (NETS-2025) PLENARY SPEAKER
Georgette Alexander-Morrison leads X-energy’s Capture & Proposals. She is responsible for the formulation and implementation of X-energy’s portfolio of U.S. Government contracts/grants and establish a pipeline of contract opportunities for the US Government, including the Department of Energy and the system of National Laboratories, the Department of Defense, NASA, Department of Homeland Security, and the NRC - including the reactor development for NASA’s Fission Surface Power (FSP) project and XENITH - the X-energy commercial microreactor.
Her most recent position was Vice President of Capture and Proposal Management, where Georgette was responsible for organizing, refining, and executing business proposal processes, leading key pursuits and responses, and developing staff for capture and proposal leadership roles. She has over 25 years of business development, capture, and proposal management experience primarily in aerospace systems and engineering services, but now also in nuclear systems including Government and Commercial pursuits. Georgette joined X-energy in 2021 to capture and lead Space Nuclear projects.
Georgette has over 35+ years’ experience in civil space, private industry, space and defense hardware, and NASA services. Early career focused on materials science and metallurgy including 3 years at Fairchild Space and 5 years with DOE development projects at Y-12 Facility and ORNL (Oak Ridge TN).
She holds a BS with High Honors in Material Sciences and Engineering (MSE) from the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL), and a MS in Industrial Engineering (Engineering Management) from the University of Tennessee (Knoxville, TN). Her credentials also include continuing education in proposal management, capture management, business development, and government contracting. Georgette holds a DoD Secret Clearance.
Georgette is a member of the Maryland Space Business Roundtable (MSBR) and volunteered for its Board of Directors for several years. She served as a volunteer for NASA’s “Girls Nights In” at Goddard Space Flight Center and “Girls Night” at Wallops Flight Facility as a speaker for “Girls Get Science.” She is a member of American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), American Astronautical Society (AAS), American Nuclear Society (ANS), Nuclear Energy Institute(NEI), Women in Aerospace (WIA), and Women in Nuclear (WIN). Honorary: Tau Beta Pi, Alpha Sigma Mu, Omicron Delta Kappa.
