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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

The current fleet of U.S. nuclear reactors provide almost 20% of the U.S. electricity supply and over 50% of the emission-free generation. However, due to changing market conditions, many nuclear plants are finding they are not competitive in the overall electricity market. At least three major economic reports over the last few years have indicated many U.S. commercial nuclear plants remain economically challenged and many are in danger of shutting down without federal or state economic assistance.
This session will include industry leaders describing technologies, advanced processes and governance changes that can drive significant operating cost reductions. This panel will also explore how to implement advanced technologies and business processes to realize improved economic performance and operating cost reductions through implementation.
