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.

The 2025 ANS election results are in!
Spring marks the passing of the torch for American Nuclear Society leadership. During this election cycle, ANS members voted for the newest vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and six board of director positions (four U.S., one non-U.S., one student). New professional division leadership was also decided on in this election, which opened February 25 and closed April 15. About 21 percent of eligible members of the Society voted—a similar turnout to last year.

When the first nuclear construction boom came to an end and the industry transitioned to operations, many of the suppliers needed to support the initial construction exited nuclear. In the years leading up to the previous nuclear renaissance, the industry realizing it lacked the capacity to build dozens of new plants went on a mission to bring new suppliers into nuclear. But is the best solution to capacity new suppliers or encourage existing suppliers to add capacity? We sit on the precipice of building hundreds of new advanced reactors. What is the best path for the “industry” that consists of both utility operators and suppliers?
