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 Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

It has been eight years since the last ANFM meeting. Since then, nuclear fuel management has changed significantly with the introduction of new fuel designs, advanced technology fuel (ATF), and longer cycle lengths. In the near future, we will see increased enrichments and increased burnup limits in light water reactors (LWRs). In addition, many new advanced reactor concepts are being planned that will require economical fuel cycles and the introduction of new fuel types. On top of this, machine learning and artificial intelligence applications loom on the horizon with the promise of increased efficiency. Join us in sunny Clearwater Beach as international representatives from fuel vendors, utilities, support organizations, national laboratories, and universities get together to share and discuss the latest developments in nuclear fuel management. The conference will include plenary sessions, technical sessions, panel sessions, and workshops.
