We at the American Nuclear Society and the University of New Mexico are thrilled to invite students, professionals, educators, and future trailblazers in the fields of nuclear science and technology to our 2025 ANS Student Conference.
Our theme is Old and Nu. This theme honors New Mexico’s role in the dawn of the nuclear era and the vast role the state has played in the continued expansion of nuclear science and technology. The University of New Mexico, nestled between Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs, as well as other key nuclear entities, is a hub of knowledge and collaboration in neutronics, thermal hydraulics, criticality safety, nuclear policy, and more! In addition to its prominence as a place of scientific study, Albuquerque is a culturally rich community on Native land, set against the backdrop of the beautiful Rio Grande and Sandia Mountains.
Our Conference aims to:
Join us at the nexus of heritage and progress, where we celebrate past achievements and anticipate future advancements to nuclear science and engineering.
