The American Nuclear Society's Fusion Energy Division has two awards that are given at each TOFE conference, the Outstanding Achievement Award and the Technical Accomplishment Award. The nomination cycle for 2024 is now open and we are accepting nomination packages for each of these awards through June 24, 2024. As a high level overview, the difference between the two awards is that the Outstanding Achievement Award is intended for someone with a continued history of accomplishments in fusion science and engineering over many years, whereas the Technical Accomplishment Award is intended for one particular accomplishment in fusion no matter how long the person has been working in the fusion field. Each of these awards has specific requirements for what to submit, how to submit, and the criteria for the award decisions, which can be found at the below two links. The full list of ANS awards, including the two FED awards, can be found here: https://www.ans.org/honors/ .
