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
Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

U.S. and Japan collaborate on high-burnup fast reactor fuel safety tests at INL
Idaho National Laboratory recently conducted a safety test on high-burnup fast reactor fuel from historic irradiation testing at the lab’s Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II). According to the Department of Energy, which announced the work March 12, it’s the first such safety test to be performed in over 20 years.

A RELAP5-3D Consortium has been formed, comprised of three key entities that have led the development of RELAP5 for decades, namely Idaho National Laboratory, Naval Nuclear Laboratories, and Information Systems Laboratories. By combining the resources of the three leading laboratories, many improvements can be made in the code, the teams, the collaboration, and the overall product. The consortium eliminates competition for new graduating scientist and engineers, combines and leverages the skills, experience, and talents of the three separate teams, creates new synergies, and develops new opportunities. Ultimately, this will extend the productive lifetime of RELAP5-3D to serve the nuclear industry.
