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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Zaporizhzhia ‘extremely fragile’ relying on single off-site power line, IAEA warns
Europe’s largest nuclear power plant has just one remaining power line for essential nuclear safety and security functions, compared with its original 10 functional lines before the military conflict with Russia, warned Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Particle discrimination and deceleration are studied with employing experimental devices which simulate direct energy converters used for D–3He reactor. A Cusp-DEC simulator with a slanted cusp field is constructed, and the preparative numerical simulation about it shows the better discrimination is expected for ions with a small pitch angle. Experimental results in a TWDEC simulator are presented. Due to the measurements of energy distribution, the effectiveness of spatially varied wavelength structure is demonstrated. The simple 1-D orbit calculation shows that the efficiency of the same extent as that of the 2-D numerical simulation would be achieved in the experimental device.
