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
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.

Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.

With the move to a clean energy agenda internationally there is an increased focus on advanced reactor technologies that provide flexible power, heat, hydrogen and desalination solutions. With any new reactor system there is an associated fuel Cycle that accompanies it. This international panel explores the spent fuel and overall fuel cycle challenges that need to be addressed for these new reactor types to be successfully deployed in a timescale that will meet the market demand. There will be a particular focus on where future fuel cycles and waste management requirements may be significantly different to the current systems, and therefore the need for future research and innovation. It will explore current international research and innovation programs and the areas where international collaboration can contribute and accelerate the programs.
