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.

The word that replaces a name/noun if the subject is unknown or already established. For example: If Finley’s pronouns are she, her, and hers, you could say "Finley ate her ice cream because she didn’t want it to melt." She, her, hers are examples of pronouns in this case. Many avoid the labels "female/feminine" and "male/masculine" when referring to pronouns because, for example, not everyone who uses he feels like a "male" or "masculine." There are also lots of gender-neutral pronouns that you might not realize we already use. Here are a few you might hear: - They, them, theirs (Finley ate their ice cream because they didn’t want it to melt.) are a common example that we often use when a subject’s pronouns are unknown, but also work for known singular individuals. - Ze, hir (Finley ate hir ice cream because ze didn’t want it to melt.) Ze is pronounced like "zee" can also be spelled zie or xe, and replaces she/he/they. Hir is pronounced like "here" and replaces her/hers/him/his/they/theirs. - Some people use a combination of these pronouns, and some people prefer not to use pronouns at all (Finley ate the ice cream because Finley didn’t want it to melt). - Never, ever refer to a person as “it” or “he-she” (unless they specifically ask you to.) These are often offensive slurs.
Why do we ask for your pronouns at registration? Why should I consider putting them on my name badge?
By asking for your pronouns, we are ensuring that we don’t accidentally misgender any of our participants or make harmful assumptions based on appearance.Even if you have never considered this in relation to yourself, by including your pronouns on your name badge you can help to make other participants comfortable. We hope you will consider this, and we will be including pronouns on each person’s name tag.
There are many resources, one that we recommend you consult if you have questions or want to learn more is https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why
