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.

Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

The Supply Chain SOTU session will be an overview highlighting current events, initiatives, and factors impacting both utilities and suppliers. INPO in its IER 21-4 has identified more than 600 of what they term “Noteworthy - Consequential” events related to faulty parts that, between 2018 and 2020, led to a loss of generation equivalent to shutting down the entire nuclear industry for 16 days. 10 CFR 50.69 efforts, utility dedication labs, and other utility cost saving measures, along with plant closures, are putting pressure on the suppliers utilities need to keep plants operating safely.
This session will provide an overview of the various factors, many of which will be explored in greater detail in other sessions in this Track. Input from discussions during this session will be factored into following sessions in the Supply Chain Track for this Conference.
