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.

Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

The Net-Zero Government Initiative set forth by the current administration invites national governments to achieve net-zero emissions by no later than 2050 from national government operations. As a result, the current US administration’s goal of meeting net-zero emissions in all federal infrastructure operations by 2050 has led to a push to deploy clean energy sources. The Department of Energy seeks to accelerate the deployment of advanced reactors through the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program to increase clean energy options. This potential surge in deploying advanced reactors requires identifying any nuclear fuel and component supply chain issues. This panel will discuss how supply chain issues are being identified and resolved to support the deployment of advanced reactors to meet clean energy goals.
