Get ready for the next edition of NCSD Topical Meeting. At this Topical, the top minds from the broad NCS community meet to collaborate on new developments in the field and discuss ideas on how to improve the industry for the next generation. From dedicated Session tracks like STACY Refurbishment and Restart to exciting workshops on Plutonium Chemistry, the NCSD Topical Meeting has opportunities for any and every member of our community. The 2025 NCS Topical Meeting will be held in the vibrant and electrifying city of Austin, Texas. Austin is known as the ‘Live Music Capital of the World’ where many well-known country music icons have their roots. Every night local performers from all genres of music fill the air. Austin is also home to world class barbeque, but its eclectic food palate has something for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy a long walk or bike ride along the river featuring a beautiful mix of urban and natural sights and make sure to stop by the famous ‘Bat Bridge’ at dusk for a truly unique experience. We look forward to seeing and collaborating with you in Austin!
