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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

NRC awards R&D grants as part of University Nuclear Leadership Program
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s Office of Regulatory Research recently awarded 20 new research and development grants in the University Nuclear Leadership Program (UNLP). The grants, totaling $9,998,188, are derived from the $16 million that Congress appropriated for the program for fiscal year 2022. The 20 selected proposals were among the 89 that were submitted to the NRC and peer-reviewed by the commission staff and experts from academia.
The Gozani Family Graduate Scholarship was established in 2020 by the Isotopes and Radiation Division (IRD) for students enrolled in or proposing to undertake research in radioanalytical chemistry, analytical chemistry, or analytical applications of nuclear science.
Dr. Tsahi Gozani, PhDDr. Tsahi Gozani has authored more than 250 papers in technical journals and conference proceedings. He is the inventor and/or the co-inventor on eight patents (plus 3 pending) in the area of explosives and nuclear material detection.Dr. Gozani was promoted to ANS Fellow in 1990, for his original and innovative contributions to the development of non-destructive methods for the detection of nuclear materials relevant to nuclear safeguards, nuclear assay methods for online analysis of coal and other minerals, and nuclear methods for the detection of explosives in airline luggage.Dr. Gozani recently retired from Rapiscan Laboratories where he served as President, CTO, and chief scientist. In addition to sitting on the Phoenix board, he provides technical consultation to Phoenix scientists and engineers. He earned his DSc in Reactor/Neutron Physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). He has developed and implemented active, non-intrusive assay and inspection techniques for nuclear materials and other threats relevant to defense and homeland security.
