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
Isotopes & Radiation
Members are devoted to applying nuclear science and engineering technologies involving isotopes, radiation applications, and associated equipment in scientific research, development, and industrial processes. Their interests lie primarily in education, industrial uses, biology, medicine, and health physics. Division committees include Analytical Applications of Isotopes and Radiation, Biology and Medicine, Radiation Applications, Radiation Sources and Detection, and Thermal Power Sources.

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|Sponsored by Regulatory Relations
Tuesday, August 11, 2020|11:00AM–12:30PM (12:00–1:30PM EDT)
Session Organizer:
Greg Robison (Duke Power)
Knowledge Manager:
Maxwell Daniels (IAEA)
In late-2019 and early-2020, the NRC approved the first two subsequent license renewal (SLR) applications to allow operation up to 80 years. This marks a major achievement for this new regulatory process. This early success of the SLR regulatory process is due to innovative approaches by both the NRC and the utility applicants. This session will include a summary of the efforts that led up to the submittal and approval of the first SLR applications, lessons learned, and planning insights for future SLR applicants.
