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
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

ARG-US Remote Monitoring Systems: Use Cases and Applications in Nuclear Facilities and During Transportation
As highlighted in the Spring 2024 issue of Radwaste Solutions, researchers at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are developing and deploying ARG-US—meaning “Watchful Guardian”—remote monitoring systems technologies to enhance the safety, security, and safeguards (3S) of packages of nuclear and other radioactive material during storage, transportation, and disposal.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Plant Reliability
Monday, August 7, 2023|3:30–5:00PM EDT|Banyan 2
Knowledge Manager:
Cameron Khanpour
This session will feature a panel consisting of vendor and utility industry experts discussing how to use risk-informed programs such as 10CFR50.69 and Code Case N-752 to relax special treatments and allow stations to focus on activities most critical to nuclear safety. Lessons learned and success stories will be shared by stations currently implementing risk-informed programs to reduce station burdens and improve overall reliability. Implementation approaches to 10CFR50.69 regarding relaxation of special treatment programs such as Environmental Qualification (EQ), Maintenance Rule (MR), In-Service Testing (IST), and In-Service Inspection (ISI) will be discussed. Additionally, the benefits of using Code Case N-752 in conjunction with or in lieu of 10CFR50.69 for Repair and Replacement (RR) activities will be covered. This session will be beneficial to anyone interested in using risk insights to focus on the right work at the right time.
