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.

Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.
Workshop
Thursday, April 8, 2021|4:00–6:00PM EDT
Session Chair:
Margaret E. Harding
Alternate Chair:
Mimi H. Limbach
Session Organizer:
Edward Chen (NC State Univ.)
Track Organizer:
Session Producers:
Alp Tezbasaran (NCSU)
Mimi Limbach with many years of communication expertise in the nuclear field and Margaret Harding with almost as many years of expertise in nuclear engineering will be leading this workshop. Margaret learned the art of persuasion with help from Mimi in the cauldron of fear, uncertainty, and doubt while communicating to the media after the great Tohoku earthquake in Japan in 2011. This workshop will help attendees build their confidence, make a compelling case, and connect with their audience. Participants will be creating and giving short presentations on topics related to Nuclear Energy. Please choose from the following topics: Role of Nuclear Energy in the US energy portfolio, Advantages of Advanced Nuclear Technologies, Role of Nuclear in Space. We recommend preparing materials for a 5 minute presentation, but if you don’t get it done, come anyway! We will be giving the group some basic principles for successful, persuasive presentations. Then participants will break out into smaller groups to work on their presentations. Our goal is for each participant to present to the group and receive useful feedback.
