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
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

Strontium: Supply-and-demand success for the DOE’s Isotope Program
The Department of Energy’s Isotope Program (DOE IP) announced last week that it would end its “active standby” capability for strontium-82 production about two decades after beginning production of the isotope for cardiac diagnostic imaging. The DOE IP is celebrating commercialization of the Sr-82 supply chain as “a success story for both industry and the DOE IP.” Now that the Sr-82 market is commercially viable, the DOE IP and its National Isotope Development Center can “reassign those dedicated radioisotope production capacities to other mission needs”—including Sr-89.

The recent advances in digital technologies have brought about new opportunities for innovations in robotics and remote systems. In particular, robotics is transforming by way of using digital twin techniques with integration of a multitude of emerging digital technologies such as advanced sensors, telerobotics, modeling and simulation, virtual-/augmented-reality, and human-robot interface under networked environment and big data. Digital transformation of robotics has also democratized the development of robotic applications at a rapid pace. The objective of this panel session is to bring together the opinion leaders in broad sectors of the nuclear industry to identify the potential R&D direction to meet the industry's emerging needs.
