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.

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).

Despite efforts to reduce inventory levels, site inventories continue to grow. This is not so much due to buying too much at one time, but buying parts for maintenance and then not actually needing to use them. Rather than optimize purchase quantities, nuclear supply chain is more about evaluating the cost of buying a part and not using it, and the cost of needing a part and not having it.
This session will explore the data and tools the industry has to make better buy or not-buy decisions, and when the answer is to buy, make better quantity to buy decisions.
