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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

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.
