Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” at 70
Seventy years ago to the day, President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his historic address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. (See December 2023 Nuclear News's “Leaders” column to read the reflections of Kathryn Huff, the Department of Energy’s assistant secretary for nuclear energy, on the speech’s anniversary.)
The American Nuclear Society offers a variety of membership categories and options to meet your needs depending on where you are in your career. Memberships are available for both individuals and organizations.
Professional membership in the American Nuclear Society is open to anyone who has studied, worked, or is interested in the nuclear or related fields. We welcome professionals at all stages of their careers -- recent graduates and young members, established professionals, and those who have retired from full- time work. Our membership consists of individuals from all walks of life, including engineers, doctors, students, educators, scientists, soldiers, advocates, suppliers, government employees, and many others.
Student membership is open to graduate and undergraduate students enrolled at least half-time in school, as well as high school students. Postgraduates and individuals employed full-time while pursuing a PhD do not qualify for Student membership and are asked to join as a Professional member (see above).
For a one-time fee, members can retain their ANS membership for life. Lifetime members will be sent a yearly statement to update address and membership information, order publications, and to make voluntary contributions to become an ANS Champion or to donate to the scholarship, local and student section strategic, and public outreach initiative funds.
Add $99 yearly overseas postage for printed copies of Nuclear News/Radwaste Solutions magazines for members outside U.S., Canada or Mexico.
Organizations and corporations which perform work within the nuclear field are eligible for Organization membership. Benefits for your organization include discounted exhibit booth space at the ANS Utility Working Conference and the ANS Winter Meeting; online subscription access for your employees (managed through an IP range); access to Standards released during your membership year; and a 20% discount on job postings on the ANS Career Finder (job board).
Interested in learning more about an Organization membership? View the Organization Membership page for more details or email organization@ans.org.
When submitting an application for membership, all members have the opportunity to subscribe to additional scientific publications at a members-only discounted rate. Subscriptions are for an annual term, expiring one year from the time of purchase.

Voluntary contributions to the following ANS programs are appreciated:
Applications for membership are processed as soon as payment is received. New member information is available online in the New Members section.
Memberships are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
All memberships are on an anniversary cycle. A renewal reminder will be sent prior to your membership expiration date. Please renew promptly to avoid discontinuation of service, elimination of member discounts, access to members-only content on the website and mailings of Nuclear News magazine.
American Nuclear Society member dues are not used for contributions to political parties or candidates or for independent expenditures on behalf of parties or candidates. Less than 1/10 of 1.0% (or 0.1%) of dues money goes to lobbying efforts. In the case of someone at the $195 dues level, this would be approximately 19 cents.
