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
Nuclear Installations Safety
Devoted specifically to the safety of nuclear installations and the health and safety of the public, this division seeks a better understanding of the role of safety in the design, construction and operation of nuclear installation facilities. The division also promotes engineering and scientific technology advancement associated with the safety of such facilities.

The 2025 ANS election results are in!
Spring marks the passing of the torch for American Nuclear Society leadership. During this election cycle, ANS members voted for the newest vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and six board of director positions (four U.S., one non-U.S., one student). New professional division leadership was also decided on in this election, which opened February 25 and closed April 15. About 21 percent of eligible members of the Society voted—a similar turnout to last year.
Keynotes Session

Session Chair:
Fan-Bill Cheung (PSU)
Dr. Robert (Bob) Salko performs research in the area of computational thermal hydraulics to support modeling and simulation of light water reactors and molten salt reactors. His primary focus has been on development of subchannel and system thermal hydraulics codes, which includes modeling of two-phase flow and heat transfer, coupling with other reactor modeling tools, deployment on high performance computing systems, and implementing quality assurance measures and releasing software for users in the nuclear community. Bob has been working at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for approximately ten years, where he has supported efforts in the US Department of Energy Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactor and Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation programs. Prior to that, Bob obtained his PhD in nuclear engineering from The Pennsylvania State University.
