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.

This research evaluated the generation of uranium-doped gadolinium zirconate pyrochlore by a high-temperature sintering method. The sintering temperature and holding time were adjusted in the fabricating course. The sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. The study shows that uranium-doped gadolinium zirconate pyrochlore can be generated with sintering parameters of 1250°C and 72 h. Analysis with XRD indicates that the uranium-doped gadolinium zirconate pyrochlore has a fluorite structure.
