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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Learning Methods – 1030-1200 Remote Training and Exam Proctoring – 1330-1500 Operator Remote Monitoring – 1530-1700 Learning Methods: This session is about learning methods, including some recent cognitive psychology findings, and we will show how a virtual training product could be used to harness different learning methods and tap into adult learning preferences. Remote Training and Exam Proctoring: This is a facilitated session for participants to engage with each other on the lessons learned to date on the successes and shortfalls associated with the virtual implementation of training and oversight of student evaluations. Operator Remote Monitoring: This session will provide information on how Duke Energy is currently using innovative devices to automate some of the data collection during operator rounds. This session will highlight the use of wireless gauge readers, video cameras, and other technologies and methods to enable operators to monitor the plant more effectively and efficiently. We will discuss how these technologies and methods can work, how they can be installed and calibrated, and how the data can be used by operators to develop better plant control and monitoring practices. The session will include time for participants to ask questions, share experiences, and discuss innovative solutions they are pursuing to optimize operator control and monitoring of plant equipment.
