Consensus Committees

The American Nuclear Society currently supports eight consensus committees. A consensus committee is the balanced body that conducts the consensus ballot on proposed standards in order for them to become official, approved standards. Each consensus committee has a defined scope of activities. The eight ANS consensus committees are as follows:

  • Environmental and Siting Consensus Committee (ESCC)
  • Fuel, Waste, and Decommissioning Consensus Committee (FWDCC)
  • ANS/ASME Joint Committee on Nuclear Risk Management (JCNRM)
  • Large Light Water Reactor Consensus Committee (LLWRCC)
  • Nuclear Criticality Safety Consensus Committee (NCSCC)
  • Nonreactor Nuclear Facilities Consensus Committee (NRNFCC)
  • Research and Advanced Reactors Consensus Committee (RARCC)
  • Safety and Radiological Analyses Consensus Committee (SRACC)
