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.

You are invited to submit your work for special issues of the ANS journals Nuclear Science and Engineering and Nuclear Technology or to the ANS publication platform Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research. Click the + for more information.
The NPIC&HMIT 2023 and PSA 2023 conferences have partnered with ANS journals Nuclear Science and Engineering (NSE) and Nuclear Technology (NT) to publish special issues of papers derived from the conferences. Additionally, should you choose not to pursue journal publication, we invite you to consider submitting to the special collections on the ANS online platform Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research (NSTOR). See below or click here for more information on NSTOR.
If interested, please contact the guest editors listed below or submit directly via the links below.
**Submission window: open now with a final deadline of November 15, 2023

Submittal instructions:
Please consider the scopes of the journals when deciding where to submit.
Nuclear Science and Engineering welcomes submissions that explore basic and fundamental research in all areas related to nuclear science and engineering. Submit to Nuclear Science & Engineering – Questions? Email nse@ans.org.
Nuclear Technology welcomes submissions that explore all phases of applications of fundamental research to nuclear technology. Submit to Nuclear Technology – Questions? Email nt@ans.org.
Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research welcomes submissions where authors prefer, or funders require, a fully open publication venue for research articles, and/or where authors would like to submit article types not typically supported by archival journals (e.g., brief reports, method articles, data notes, posters/presentations). Submit to NSTOR NPIC&HMIT 2023 | PSA 2023 – Questions? Email nstor@ans.org.
Thank you again for attending NPIC&HMIT 2023 and PSA 2023, and we hope you participate in this special issue opportunity!

Thank you for participating in the 18th International Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Analysis (PSA 2023)!
The Proceedings of PSA 2023 are now available to all who registered for the conference. Access to the Proceedings is linked to the account you used to register for the meeting.
You can also access the Proceedings by logging in to the ANS website and then:
Since 1978, the ANS biennial topical conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment has been a worldwide forum for communication of major probabilistic risk and safety topics, including issues, methods, applications, insights, policy, research, and risk-informed regulation experience. PSA 2023 will be of interest to those working in traditional applications such as nuclear reactor facilities, nonreactor installations, processing, decontamination & decommissioning, storage as well as other nontraditional areas where probabilistic safety approaches are applied.
Check out these sessions at the colocated NPIC & HMIT 2023 Conference that PSA 2023 sponsored.
