National awards presented at ANS Winter Conference
One of the few constants at American Nuclear Society national meetings is the recognition of exceptional individuals in the nuclear community. ANS President Lisa Marshall has named this season’s award recipients, who received recognition at this week's Winter Conference and Expo in Orlando, Fla.
ANS also announced the winners of awards presented by the Society’s professional divisions. These awards have been mailed to the recipients, and the divisions have recognized or will recognize honorees at various division functions and meetings this fall. The 19 professional divisions of ANS are constituent units and represent a vast array of nuclear science and technology disciplines.

All accepted summaries are eligible to receive conference awards and will be judged in one the following award categories:
Academia
Innovation and New Technology Summaries
Lightning Talk Awards (7-minute Lightning Talk presentations with 5-minute Q&A):
All summaries will be considered for awards, but we ask that any person interested in receiving an award in Academia or a Lightning Talk award indicate their interest by submitting their summary to either the Academia or Lightning Talk session in the track to which they are submitting. Anyone interested in receiving an award for Academia summaries or Lightning Talks must be prepared to present to the evaluation panel before the conference and, once again, at the conference. Academia award winners will receive complimentary registration to the conference (one per awarded summary), a $600 travel stipend (one per awarded summary), and an award and acknowledgement during the conference awards ceremony. All other award recipients will receive an award and acknowledgement during the conference’s award ceremony.
All sponsors are recognized on the conference website and in promotional communications. All sponsors will also be acknowledged at the Opening Plenary and on signage displayed throughout the conference. Sponsorship packages are limited, so reserve your package early.
