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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.
Meeting Spotlight

The 2025 ANS election results are in!
Spring marks the passing of the torch for American Nuclear Society leadership. During this election cycle, ANS members voted for the newest vice president/president-elect, treasurer, and six board of director positions (four U.S., one non-U.S., one student). New professional division leadership was also decided on in this election, which opened February 25 and closed April 15. About 21 percent of eligible members of the Society voted—a similar turnout to last year.

We proposed a flexible electron density measurement system based on the interferometer for confinement study. An INRD guide antenna for spatial scan capability of a probe beam has been analytically designed. As a result of fabricating and evaluating the antenna, it was confirmed that the antenna has a predicted performance. We also evaluated the analysis method of a sampled data with numerical simulation in order to calculate phase shift due to the plasma density. A 3000 order FIR filter could successfully separate a sample signal with various frequencies into a signal with a single frequency when S/N is not critical.
