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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Commercial nuclear innovation "new space" age
In early 2006, a start-up company launched a small rocket from a tiny island in the Pacific. It exploded, showering the island with debris. A year later, a second launch attempt sent a rocket to space but failed to make orbit, burning up in the atmosphere. Another year brought a third attempt—and a third failure. The following month, in September 2008, the company used the last of its funds to launch a fourth rocket. It reached orbit, making history as the first privately funded liquid-fueled rocket to do so.

The Current Issues in Computational Methods Roundtable will present five researchers who will give talks on several aspects of modern code development. Their talks will center on upcoming developments and challenges in code development. Points of emphasis will be the opportunities and demands of new machine architectures, applications of AI to scientific codes, and the pros and cons of University/National Lab collaborations. The talk titles are: Katie Lewis, LLNL: "Addressing the Paradigm Shift: Machine Learning in Scientific Simulations" Todd Palmer, Oregon State: "The Daunting Task of Initiating a Multi-University, Multi-Disciplinary High Performance Computing Research Project In the Age of COVID-19" Rob Lowrie, LANL: "Current Issues for Multiphysics Codes" Ann Gentile: "AI/ML for HPC Operations" Teresa Bailey: "A Few Random Thoughts About Predictive Science"
