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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Cost Reduction Opportunities
Tuesday, August 6, 2024|10:30AM–12:00PM EDT|Calusa 11/12
Topics:
• NRC Regulatory Update- Safety, Security and Safeguards (SSS) - speaker Skip Young- US NRC Branch Chief ( Ret). This presentation will review current status of NRC rule making and decision trends as related to the area of SSS. The potential impact will be presented , and affect on cost profiles at NPPs moving forward will be addressed.
• New technical tools, techniques and methods in the security & high radiation arenas-; speaker Ryan Reinke & Shawn Brust S&L. This topic will examine current/available and implemented improvements now being deployed at NPPs to optimize cost profile via use of cutting-edge technology/AI, remote devices, streamlined procedures, innovative engineering and other high value planning tools to result in lower cost, dose and risk profiles. Several examples of real time application within NPPs in US Fleets will be examined.
• Application of automated devices in difficult areas- speaker C.R.Byrum Sandia Lab- This presentation will outline actual examples being deployed at various US Govt. agencies with potential benefit for NPPs; to include such specific applications that result in improved cost, reduced personnel and overall improved risk profile. This presentation will also review certification and liaison with other entities such as US DOE, DHS and DOD
