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.

Workshop
Thursday, April 13, 2023|8:30–11:30AM EDT|Sequoyah 3
This event is sponsored by Paschal Solutions Inc.
This workshop will acquaint students with some of the vital safety functions in nonreactor nuclear facilities, including criticality safety and radiological safety. Attendees will be introduced to the use of standards and regulatory guidance as they pertain to both DOE and NRC-licensed facilities. Other topics include, but may not be limited to, normal and credible abnormal conditions, process hazard analysis, and development of safety basis.
A hypothetical nuclear material handling scenario will be provided to students, and the topics mentioned previously will be applied to that scenario. The workshop will use this exercise to demonstrate how different groups within the same organization apply their varying focuses to achieve a common goal of facility, operator, and environmental safety.
Location: Sequoyah 3
Cost: $0
Attendees: 40
