      Nuclear Criticality Safety

      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.

Securing a Strong Workforce for the Next Generation of Reactors

March 16, 2022|11:30AM–1:00PM (12:30–2:00PM EDT)

All UsersAvailable to All Users



ANS's Education, Training & Workforce Development Division presented a panel of representatives from academia, industry, and government on what is happening to prepare the future nuclear workforce for the construction and operation of next generation reactors planned to be built in the late 2020s and early 2030s.

The Dr. Kathryn Huff of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy presented DOE current and future programs to support the creation of a robust future workforce for the construction and operation of advanced reactors.

Dr. Wesley Hines of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville described how the university is preparing students for the future generation of reactors and how other nuclear engineering programs can best prepare their students for next generation reactors.

And Nick Touran of TerraPower spoke about initiatives to ensure the availability of workforce needed to build and operate new power plant designs as well as perspectives on what universities and government can do to ensure a next generation reactor ready workforce.
