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.

Not long ago, the operating units were greatly concerned that the nuclear renaissance would cause supply issues as suppliers shifted their attention to the construction of the new nuclear fleet. What are the steps the industry can take to ensure the nuclear supply chain remains healthy during times of crisis or major events? Will there be a ban on the import of Russian uranium? When will the global chip supply crisis be resolved? Will suppliers shift their focus to the construction of SMRs?
This session will explore lessons learned from the stalled renaissance, post-Fukushima, Covid-19 Pandemic, wars and political upheavals in countries or regions where the extended supply chain reaches.
