A proactive approach to reactor vessel aging management
Unit 2 at the Prairie Island nuclear power plant near Red Wing, Minn., underwent an outage in fall 2023, which included extensive work on the reactor vessel using a novel approach to replace baffle-former bolts and lower radial clevis insert bolts. The work relied on extensive analysis beforehand to determine which bolts to replace such that only the new bolts were structurally credited for performance of their safety function. This proactive approach eliminated the need for costly contingencies associated with inspections.

What is the difference between an Individual and Organization Membership? Which membership is right for me?
The Organization Membership primarily includes benefits at the company-level, the main ones being –
The Individual Membership benefits unlock full access for your employees –
If you’re a Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo and/or Winter Meeting exhibitor, or if you’re currently in a phase where you’re doing a lot of hiring, you will find great value in the Organization Membership.
If you’re primarily interested in membership as a professional development avenue for employees, the individual memberships will likely provide the best value for you.Need it all? Organization Members may also purchase bulk packages of Individual Memberships. Please reach out to organization@ans.org for a custom quote!
If I join as an Organization Member, do all my employees become members of ANS?
No, the Organization Membership program does not include flow down Individual Memberships. Organization Members have the option to purchase bulk packages of Individual Memberships. Please reach out to organization@ans.org for a custom quote!
What portion of dues goes toward lobbying?
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.
