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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

A day in the life of the nuclear community
The November issue of Nuclear News is focused on the individuals who make up our nuclear community.
We invited a small group of those individuals to tell us about their day-to-day work in some of the many occupations and applications of nuclear science and technology, and they responded generously. They were ready to tell us about the part they play, together with colleagues and team members, in supplying clean energy, advancing technology, protecting safety and health, and exploring fundamental science.
In these pages, we see a community that can celebrate both those workdays that record progress moving at a steady pace and the exceptional days when a goal is reached, a briefing is delivered, a contract goes through, a discovery is made, or an unforeseen challenge is overcome.
The Nuclear News staff hopes that you enjoy meeting these members of our community—or maybe get reacquainted with friends—through their words and photos.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Performance Improvement|Cosponsored by Maintenance and Work Management
Tuesday, August 11, 2020|1:00–2:30PM (2:00–3:30PM EDT)
Session Organizer:
Fred Lake (WD)
Jon Anderson (ACA Proactive)
Kevin Rackley (TVA/CAPOG)
Knowledge Manager:
Sudipta Saha (Univ. of South Carolina)
We will see demonstrations from utilities that are deep into the use of “Artificial Intelligence” to significantly reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of the Corrective Action Program, Work Order Screening and Work Order Generation. This session will include lessons learned from current efforts and developing a business case for the transformation of these three areas.
