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.

Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.

The Naval Nuclear Laboratory is the U.S. Navy’s trusted partner for superior nuclear propulsion technology, design, testing, training, and support. We have cradle-to-grave responsibility from technology development through design to disposal. We have one mission: to develop the world’s best naval nuclear propulsion systems for all U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers, training Sailors to operate them, and provide full lifecycle support to the Fleet. We offer a unique opportunity to contribute to a unique mission – to ensure the effectiveness and safety of our designs, to ensure the unfailing availability of these national assets, to train the Sailors that operate these propulsion plants, and to responsively and safely dispose of spent fuel. The Naval Nuclear Laboratory relies on the dedication and innovation of our nearly 8,000 engineers, scientists, technicians, and support personnel.
