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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

The U.S. Army’s Deactivated Nuclear Power Plant Program
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, is home to the North Atlantic Division’s Radiological Health Physics Regional (RHPR) Center of Expertise, which is leading the decommissioning of Army reactors.
From 1956 to 1976, the Army’s nuclear power program operated several small nuclear reactors to confirm the feasibility of their meeting military power needs on land. Three Army reactors were deactivated in the 1970s and placed into safe storage awaiting future decommissioning.

Description
The 2019 M&C Conference attracted top theoreticians and practitioners from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, continuing the tradition of being the premier gathering of mathematicians, computer scientists, physicists, and engineers devoted to solving computational challenges in nuclear science and technology. These proceedings include archival versions of the M&C presentations that took place over four days in more than 35 sessions. Some of the topics the papers in this proceedings cover are, deterministic transport methods, Monte Carlo methods and applications, general radiation transport, computational fluid dynamics and applications to nuclear thermal hydraulics, multiphysics simulations in nuclear science and engineering, nuclear data evaluations and assimilation of integral experiments, uncertainty qualification and security analysis.
