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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

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.

When the first nuclear construction boom came to an end and the industry transitioned to operations, many of the suppliers needed to support the initial construction exited nuclear. In the years leading up to the failed nuclear Renaissance, the industry realizing it lacked the capacity to build dozens of new plants went on a mission to bring new suppliers into nuclear. But is the best solution to capacity new suppliers or encouraging existing suppliers to add capacity? We sit on the precipice of building hundreds of new advanced reactors. What is the best path for the “industry” that consists of both utility operators and suppliers?
