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.

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).
Nuclear Criticality Safety Division 2025 Conference
DOE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP)
Manager
Dr. Angela Chambers is the DOE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) Manager since November 3, 2016. She began her career at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant serving in the project management, decontamination and recovery, nuclear criticality safety, and non-destructive assay groups. Angela was a technical staff member and program lead for Los Alamos National Laboratory for 11 years, working for the Probabilistic Analysis Group and then for Weapons Systems Engineering where she had assembly design responsibility for the W78 and W88 systems. She has been involved with Nuclear Explosive Safety since joining NNSA in 2009 and was responsible for NES oversight and the DOE NES directives. Angela retired from the US Air Force Reserves where she instructed military and civilian first responders on nuclear and radiological incidents and the use of radiation detection instrumentation for DoD’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency. Angela earned her doctorate in nuclear engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. She holds a Master of Science degree in nuclear engineering and a Bachelor of Science in physics, both from the Ohio State University. Angela has two daughters: Trinity and Tristan Ivy-Mike
