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 Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

NRC engineers share their expertise at the University of Puerto Rico
Robert Roche-Rivera and Marcos Rolón-Acevedo are licensed professional engineers who work at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are also alumni of the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez (UPRM) and have been sharing their knowledge and experience with students at their alma mater since last year, serving as adjunct professors in the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. During the 2023–2024 school year, they each taught two courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Nuclear Power Plant Engineering.

The federal government has acknowledged the critical role of nuclear in achieving our carbon reduction goals with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors and Science CHIPS Act. These three pieces of other legislation combined with other federal programs have unlocked an unprecedented amount of money available to the nuclear industry through tax credits, federal loan guarantees, and grant programs. This session will serve as Part 1 of a “two-part” joint session between the Cost Reduction Track and the Innovative Roles in Nuclear Track to discuss how tax credits can be utilized to lower project costs and federal funding programs can be leveraged to benefit nuclear. In this session, we will provide clarity on what the tax credits and federal programs can bring to the nuclear industry via providing an understanding of the IRA and its tax credits, stacking IRA benefits, leveraging the DOE Loan Programs, and partnering with our National Labs.
