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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

President of ANS Student Chapter
North Carolina State University
Alina Jugan is a junior in nuclear engineering at NC State University and president of its ANS Student Chapter. She intends to pursue accelerated bachelor/master’s degrees (with a minor in physics) and then continue on towards her PhD. Alina was originally drawn to nuclear from an interest in fusion and the science behind energy production. Since then, her interests have expanded to include advanced reactors like molten salts as well as plasma physics. Ultimately, in her future, she plans to work in national and international research labs and projects to advance our reactors. Outside of education, she enjoys her plants (every sunlit surface is covered with them), rock climbing, fiction writing, puns, and dragons.
