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
Mathematics & Computation
Division members promote the advancement of mathematical and computational methods for solving problems arising in all disciplines encompassed by the Society. They place particular emphasis on numerical techniques for efficient computer applications to aid in the dissemination, integration, and proper use of computer codes, including preparation of computational benchmark and development of standards for computing practices, and to encourage the development on new computer codes and broaden their use.

Nuclear energy: enabling production of food, fiber, hydrocarbon biofuels, and negative carbon emissions
In the 1960s, Alvin Weinberg at Oak Ridge National Laboratory initiated a series of studies on nuclear agro-industrial complexes1 to address the needs of the world’s growing population. Agriculture was a central component of these studies, as it must be. Much of the emphasis was on desalination of seawater to provide fresh water for irrigation of crops. Remarkable advances have lowered the cost of desalination to make that option viable in countries like Israel. Later studies2 asked the question, are there sufficient minerals (potassium, phosphorous, copper, nickel, etc.) to enable a prosperous global society assuming sufficient nuclear energy? The answer was a qualified “yes,” with the caveat that mineral resources will limit some technological options. These studies were defined by the characteristic of looking across agricultural and industrial sectors to address multiple challenges using nuclear energy.

By uploading your presentation file(s), the author gives ANS permission to host and use the file(s) for the purpose of hosting this Meeting. Microsoft PowerPoint or Adobe Acrobat (PDF) presentation files will not be made available to attendees; only limited users (session chairs, organizers, ANS staff, and meeting admins) will have direct access to these files for the sole purpose of displaying/broadcasting the presentations for the meeting. Presentations should not have copyrighted material included, because the sessions will be recorded and viewable by meeting attendees at any time. The summary submitted for Transactions of the American Nuclear Society are subject to copyright and should not be shared without written permission from ANS and the author.
Yes, each technical session will have a Session Producer assigned for basic assistance. For any extra assistance or questions, please email meetings@ans.org.
Most presentations are allowed 15 minutes with a 5 minutes Q&A. Please contact your chair ahead of time for specifics on your session.
Yes, the PowerPoint Template is available on the Resources page.
We are allowing PDF, PPT, MP4, and links to external (e.g. YouTube, Vimeo) videos (for prerecorded videos).
The sessions will all take place live, but if a presenter cannot make their designated time, you may see part of a session prerecorded.
Yes, please note all sessions will be recorded and made available shortly after on the ANS site. Please contact meetings@ans.org if recording the session may cause any issues.
Yes, registrants will have access to all sessions. Please give ANS 24 hours after completion of session to post the recordings to the platform.
The author has the option to share their own screen and run their own presentation however, all presentations must be sent in advance in case of internet connectivity or computer issues. In such a scenario, the session chair will act as a backup and share your presentation for you. Alternatively, at request, the session chair can share your presentation for you while you present.
There are two ways attendees will be able to ask questions; one option is to submit questions through the chat function and the other is to click the “raise your hand” button. The Session Chair can then unmute the attendee to ask the question. The chair of the session will announce how they are handling questions at the beginning of each session.
Please contact meetings@ans.org and they will direct your question to the appropriate staff.
There will be a comments section on each session page of the meeting platform. Please feel free to browse the technical sessions!
There is no app for this meeting.
Yes, please send a list of all sessions (with day and time) attended live (no recorded sessions) to meetings@ans.org.
Yes! Please visit the Resources page to download and for instructions.
