Division Spotlight
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

El Salvador: Looking to nuclear
In 2022, El Salvador’s leadership decided to expand its modest, mostly hydro- and geothermal-based electricity system, which is supported by expensive imported natural gas and diesel generation. They chose to use advanced nuclear reactors, preferably fueled by thorium-based fuels, to power their civilian efforts. The choice of thorium was made to inform the world that the reactor program was for civilian purposes only, and so they chose a fuel that was plentiful, easy to source and work with, and not a proliferation risk.
We at the American Nuclear Society strive to keep our members engaged and informed. In that spirit, on May 6, 2024, ANS began publishing its own daily newsletter—Nuclear News Daily.
Compiled by the Nuclear News staff instead of a third-party contractor, this new service will allow ANS to curate and consolidate Society communications alongside the most important industry news—more information for you with less clutter in your inbox. We endeavor to be informative and timely, hitting your inbox early in the morning to supply you with an informative start to your day.
Previously, ANS partnered with the news service SmartBrief for daily emails. We are proud of the product we delivered for 6 years until the conclusion of our partnership. Looking forward, ANS is excited to bring the newsletter in-house, where we can provide a more informative, cohesive, and ANS-focused daily briefing anchored by the daily coverage of Nuclear Newswire and Radwaste Solutions.
