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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

NRC engineers share their expertise at the University of Puerto Rico
Robert Roche-Rivera and Marcos Rolón-Acevedo are licensed professional engineers who work at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are also alumni of the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez (UPRM) and have been sharing their knowledge and experience with students at their alma mater since last year, serving as adjunct professors in the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. During the 2023–2024 school year, they each taught two courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Nuclear Power Plant Engineering.
Keynotes Session

Session Chair:
Annalisa Manera (ETHZ)
Dr. Bardet is a Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the George Washington University, in the heart of the Nation’s Capital. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a PhD in Nuclear Engineering in 2006. His current research is focused on developing instrumentation and acquiring data for understanding complex flows. The recent developments include non-intrusive laser diagnostics for measuring water vapor temperature, dissolved gas concentration, as well as velocimetry techniques, both seedless and particle based. Notably, Dr. Bardet’s group has advanced Molecular Tagging Velocimetry to measure wall shear stress directly in high-Reynolds number flows. The tools are applied on fluid-structure interactions, mass transfer and dynamics at liquid gas interfaces, and 3D turbulent boundary layers. He has led several in-situ experimental campaigns where his team instrumented large experimental facilities with custom diagnostics, including an Integral Effect Test facility at Oregon State University. Dr. Bardet teaches courses in Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Experimental Methods, and Optics.
