      Reactor Physics

      Reactor Physics

      The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

      Destruction of Ukrainian dam threatens Zaporizhzhia

      A Soviet-era dam downstream from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine collapsed last evening, causing the water level of the Kakhovka Reservoir north of the dam to drop and raising new concerns over the already jeopardized safety of the Russian-occupied nuclear facility, Europe’s largest. The reservoir supplies water for, among other things, Zaporizhzhia’s cooling systems.

Recommendations on Postclosure Aspects of Generic Standards for the Permanent Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Wastes in the U.S.

April 5, 2023|12:00–1:00PM (1:00–2:00PM EDT)

All UsersAvailable to All Users



Join us for a virtual event featuring a discussion on a new set of recommendations from the ANS Special Committee on Generic Standards for Disposal of High-Level Radioactive Waste. The Special Committee developed a set of recommendations and observations on postclosure generic disposal standards that are protective of public health, safety, and the environment; consistent with international best practices; and implementable through established licensing processes. The Special Committee plans to finalize the report later in 2023, after consideration of stakeholder input.

Learn more about the report.
