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
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

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 Technology and Innovation
Tuesday, August 11, 2020|11:00AM–12:30PM (12:00–1:30PM EDT)
Session Organizer:
Adam Dow (Southern California Edison)
Knowledge Manager:
Greg Swain (Duke Energy)
This session focuses on the enablement of operational artificial intelligence at scale within the landscape of a broader utility digital transformation which focuses on advanced analytics, digital platform and mobile application development, and robotic process automation. As AI has evolved over the last couple of decades, the industry strategy has shifted from scattered and ambiguous capabilities to solutions that have (1) focused business value and use case, (2) design and control processes for AI-friendly data, (3) harnessing the utility enterprise resources to classify/tag images and data, (4) democratization of AI model low-code/no-code development, and (5) plug and play end-point device capabilities to leverage AI in the field. Discussions in this session will include the linkage of ML modeling to quantify risk and integrate into work management and decision-making processes, tactical AI algorithm development for object detection and condition assessments, and leveraging new forms of data (e.g. photogrammetry, LiDAR, etc.) across an exponentially increasing spectrum of structured, unstructured and streaming information.
