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.

Framatome and USNC team up to produce TRISO fuel at Framatome facility
Framatome Inc. and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corp. (USNC) signed an agreement on November 28 at the World Nuclear Exhibition in Paris, France, establishing a joint venture to manufacture nuclear fuel for USNC’s gas-cooled microreactor and other advanced reactor designs. Working together, the companies plan to produce commercial quantities of TRISO fuel particles and USNC’s proprietary Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated (FCM) fuel, which contains TRISO fuel particles within a ceramic fuel pellet.
Plenary Session

Presented byJohn HopkinsPresident and Chief Executive OfficerNuScale Power, LLC
Space: the next nuclear frontier. These are the celestial trailblazers of the nuclear industry. Their continuing mission is to explore the cosmos, seek out new nuclear science and technology applications, and boldly go where no one has gone before! What role can nuclear play as the world proceeds into the 21st century’s version of the space race? In addition to highlighting recent successes and progress in the burgeoning field, we will ask each panelist to share their own personal vision for nuclear in space and the challenges to achieving their vision. While the dream of space exploration may have previously been reserved for a select few, this panel will traverse the myriad of ways in which recent advances in space flight will enable the future of industrialization and human habitation in space.
