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.

Siting of Canadian repository gets support of tribal nation
Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) announced that Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation has indicated its willingness to support moving forward to the next phase of the site selection process to host a deep geological repository for Canada’s spent nuclear fuel.

Muons, Inc. was formed two decades ago by scientists from national labs to develop a muon collider, the next "atom smasher" to follow the Large Hadron Collider, Since then, Muons has supported 18 postdocs and 7 Ph.D. candidates under DOE contracts and SBIR-STTR grants to develop new technologies and applications for particle accelerators. We are enthusiastic proponents of superconducting rf proton accelerators to drive subcritical molten-salt reactors to deal with the spent fuel from nuclear reactors using a concept called Mu*STAR. We have applied for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program ARC-20 to develop a Mu*STAR Conceptual Design Report over the next three years and are looking for people to join us in this adventure.
