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
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

Leadership Development: Leader Proficiency
How do you know your leader is "ready" for the next promotion? Succession planning is important and Individual Development Plans are valuable tools, but together they still don't bring the confidence needed when promoting leaders to middle and upper management key positions. This panel discussion explores methods being used to proactively assess individual and team readiness gaps before promotions occur and performance declines are experienced.
Potential Topics:
KTR/WFP: Predictive Skill Gap Analysis Software/Technology
Many companies are having to do more with less. When headcount is being discussed it's critical to understand workforce capacity and how that impacts workforce planning. This session will explore improvements in workforce planning technology and software that takes many variables into consideration to achieve optimal staffing.
Knowledge Transfer and Retention continues to be a topic of focus during periods of turnover and new employees entering the nuclear workforce. This session will showcase a systematic way to engage leadership in the assessment process and capture the historical and current plans for sustainability of the program.
HR Self Assessments are an important element to continue programs and processes are in place that support the CO.6 criteria. In this session, we will highlight the self-assessment process and practices to implement for a mid-cycle evaluation.
