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.

The legacy of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station
Serving as the world’s first scalable nuclear power plant, Shippingport Atomic Power Station led the way for today’s nuclear generation fleet. Shippingport was centrally located roughly 25 miles from Pittsburgh, Pa., to provide electrical generation for many end-users. Shippingport also served as an experimental reactor that allowed engineers and designers the ability to test different core designs, and as such, the site housed additional testing equipment otherwise not commonly seen. The primary goal of Shippingport was always to generate electricity; however, its ability to function as an experimental reactor served utilities in further development of scalable nuclear generation.
Edited by Dr. Farzad Rahnema, Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) is the first and oldest peer-reviewed journal in its field, published by ANS since 1956. Printed twelve times a year, NSE is widely recognized as an outstanding source of information on fundamental and applied research in all scientific areas related to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, as well as on applications of nuclear particles and radiation.
Authors: Publication of articles in NSE is free of charge. Optionally, open access publication is available for a fee.
Information for Readers
Electronic access to Nuclear Science and Engineering is free for all ANS members.
