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
Thermal Hydraulics
The division provides a forum for focused technical dialogue on thermal hydraulic technology in the nuclear industry. Specifically, this will include heat transfer and fluid mechanics involved in the utilization of nuclear energy. It is intended to attract the highest quality of theoretical and experimental work to ANS, including research on basic phenomena and application to nuclear system design.
Meeting Spotlight
International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2025)
April 27–30, 2025
Denver, CO|The Westin Denver Downtown
Standards Program
The Standards Committee is responsible for the development and maintenance of voluntary consensus standards that address the design, analysis, and operation of components, systems, and facilities related to the application of nuclear science and technology.

TerraPower begins U.K. regulatory approval process
Seattle-based TerraPower signaled its interest this week in building its Natrium small modular reactor in the United Kingdom, the company announced.
TerraPower sent a letter to the U.K.’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, formally establishing its intention to enter the U.K. generic design assessment (GDA) process. This is TerraPower’s first step in deployment of its Natrium technology—a 345-MW sodium fast reactor coupled with a molten salt energy storage unit—on the international stage.
ANS has various FREE resources for K-12 education outreach events and activities, including curriculum, brochures, handouts, and more. Follow these links to find activities, lessons, videos, and more to make your K-12 outreach efforts inspiring and engaging. We’ll add to and revise this guide regularly to keep it current.
We also offer custom training in K-12 outreach through our Nuclear Ambassadors program that covers existing misconceptions, messaging, communicating with student age groups, and shared experiences of current Nuclear Ambassadors. Contact Uchenna Ezibe for more information or to set up a customized training experience for your organization.
ANS staff is always happy to help you with any outreach needs. Contact us at askanything@ans.org
In partnership with Discovery Education and the U. S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, ANS created the gold standard in nuclear science and technology education in Navigating Nuclear: Energizing Our World.This dynamic, standards-aligned program invites students to explore the many applications of nuclear science and its impact on energy, healthcare, food, and the environment through an interactive suite of FREE classroom resources.
Career profiles, brochures, recorded interviews, and more to inspire the next generation in the nuclear workforce.
These resources--for educators and students--cover the history and processes behind technologies from the past, present, and into the future.
Engage students in and out of the classroom with these exciting resources. And sign up to receive a FREE cloud chamber kit.
