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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

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.
You are responsible for presenting your paper at the meeting's technical sessions. If, for good reason, you cannot present your paper, a qualified and knowledgeable substitute should be selected by you to present the paper at the scheduled time. Failure to do so without proper cause and notification may result in your paper being withdrawn from the proceedings and restrictions of future presentations. Before the meeting, Professors Smidts (psa2021@osu.edu) and Sinha (psa2021@osu.edu) MUST be informed of any changes in the status of your presentation. Changes during the meeting (e.g., because of illness) MUST be reported to the Technical Program Chair before the conclusion of the meeting.
In order to support the virtual format of PSA 2021, Zoom trainings to authors, presenters and session chairs will be offered by ANS headquarters starting from November 1st to November 5th on alternate days of the first week of November (i.e on Monday, Nov 1, Wednesday, Nov 3rd and Friday, Nov 5th) these dates are one week prior to the actual PSA 2021 conference dates which is from November 7th -12th, 2021. The Zoom training link will be provided in a separate email. The zoom training schedule is mentioned in the lines below (All quoted time is in Central Time Zone):
Monday-Wednesday-Friday: Morning Session from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (CST)
Monday-Wednesday-Friday: Afternoon Session from 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM (CST)
*Please make a note that the above mentioned Zoom training is also highly recommended for Panelists, Plenary Speakers and Session Chairs/Co- Chairs). This Zoom training is to confirm that microphones and cameras are working for the upcoming presentation/meeting. Furthermore, the Zoom training will also be used to provide guidance on how to navigate the ANS website for PSA 2021 information, where to sign up, and how to obtain Zoom links etc. for the upcoming PSA 2021 Virtual Meeting Sessions.
