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
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.

State legislation: Bipartisan support growing for nuclear energy in Wisconsin
Lawmakers are crossing the aisle to back proposals to expand nuclear power and nuclear research in the Badger State, especially as energy-hungry data center projects advance in Wisconsin and projections for energy demand soar.
The state has a goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 but will also need to generate more power to support data center plans, such as those being discussed in Port Washington and Beaver Dam, according to media reports.
2022 ANS Annual Meeting
Jaime Marian is a professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at UCLA. His group focuses on understanding materials evolution under extreme conditions using multiscale computational modeling, and developing efficient computational techniques, taking advantage of large-scale parallel computing capabilities. Specific areas of interest are microstructural evolution and mechanical property degradation in fusion materials, simulations of plastic deformation in alloys, simulations of thermodynamics and phase transformations in functional materials, strength in nanostructured crystals, and simulations of irradiation damage. He received his PhD in Nuclear Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, followed by a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the California Institute of Technology, and a staff scientist position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. He has been the recipient of the DOE Early Career Award and is the author of over 100 publications in the areas of irradiation damage in materials, plasticity, deformation, mechanics, and numerical methods.
