The ANS-8 Forum allows the Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) community to learn about the consensus standards that are under development and what kinds of work items are being considered by the ANS-8 Subcommittee. ANS-8 working groups will also provide discussions about working group tasks and opportunities for stakeholders and volunteers to learn more about ANS-8 standards. Students and early-career individuals interested in standards are welcome to participate.
