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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

Taking shape: Fusion energy ecosystems built with public-private partnerships
It’s possible to describe fusion in simple terms: heat and squeeze small atoms to get abundant clean energy. But there’s nothing simple about getting fusion ready for the grid.
Private developers, national lab and university researchers, suppliers, and end users working toward that goal are developing a range of complex technologies to reach fusion temperatures and pressures, confounded by science and technology gaps linked to plasma behavior; materials, diagnostics, and electronics for extreme environments; fuel cycle sustainability; and economics.

KTR/WFP: Staffing and Attrition Challenges:
Increased competition for attracting nuclear talent has created a challenge for our industry to attract, develop, and most importantly, retain our most important asset, our people. This session will focus on common reasons why employees are leaving nuclear and explore ways to combat those reasons.
Presentation to include: trends on supply and demand, change in demographics, worker preferences (work-life balance, remote options), employer brand, competitive salaries, and hiring strategies.
LR: Legal Trends
The number of major strikes in the US rose to its second-highest level in two decades in 2022. Why does this matter and what should we know about recent cases that can help us avoid similar pitfalls? What are other current legal and organizing trends in this area?
The presentation will include case studies of recent labor disputes. What are the learnings and how can we avoid the same fate?
