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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

ANS, NEI to partner on premier 2025 nuclear conference
The American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute have announced a new partnership regarding two of their flagship industry conferences.
ANS’s annual Utility Working Conference and Vendor Technology Expo and NEI’s Nuclear Energy Assembly will merge during the week of September 8, 2025, in Atlanta, Ga. The news was shared during the kickoff of the 2024 NEA meeting, happening this week in Philadelphia, Pa.
Innovations Student Competition
December 12, 2023|1:00–2:00PM (2:00–3:00PM EST)
Available to All Users
The Innovations in Nuclear Energy Research & Development Student Competition (INSC) recognizes published graduate and undergraduate students. Through the award process, the INSC provides winning students with opportunities to present their published work to the broader nuclear energy community. This webinar serves as an opportunity for students who were unable to present at the ANS Winter Conference to show their work to a wider audience.
This webinar features two students with published work in the nuclear fuel cycle technologies area. Claire Griesbach from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present “Microstructural heterogeneity of the buffer layer of TRISO nuclear fuel particles” and Kyle Quillin from the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present “Microstructural and nanomechanical studies of PVD Cr coatings on SiC for LWR fuel cladding applications.”
The session will be moderated by Tyler Newitt, Innovative Nuclear Research Integration Office (INR-IO).
