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.

Over the past decade, there has been growing interest in fusion energy research from private companies in a push to commercialize the technology. These private companies are increasingly supplementing university and national laboratory research to help realize fusion's potential as a clean and abundant energy source in the future. It can be argued that this is one of the most exciting times to be involved in fusion energy research as a result! Please join our plenary panelists as they provide an overview of the contributions that private companies, government labs, and academic institutions are making toward fusion energy research. They will also discuss as areas of collaboration between private companies, governments, and academia, all in the pursuit of the state of fusion!
