Crash Course: The DOE’s Package Performance Demonstration
Inspired by a history of similar testing endeavors and recommended by the National Academy of Sciences and the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future, the Department of Energy is planning to conduct physical demonstrations on rail-sized spent nuclear fuel transportation casks. As part of the project, called the Spent Nuclear Fuel Package Performance Demonstration (PPD), the DOE is considering a number of demonstrations based on regulatory tests and realistic transportation scenarios, including collisions, drops, exposure to fire, and immersion in water.
Building a Stronger Voice.
Across the globe, dozens of Local sections are the backbone of ANS. They perform excellent work on behalf of nuclear professionals. All members are urged to join a Local Section to build their network and to help serve the nuclear community through public education and outreach.
Find a Local Section near you by using the map below.
If there isn't one near you, then learn how to start a Local Section.
To find out more information about the mission of local sections, awards, and more, go to the Local Sections Committee Website.To provide demographic and financial details for payments for your local section, please complete the Section Membership Payments form.
ANS Local Sections allow members to interact with other members and nuclear professionals to network and learn about relevant issues in their region.
