ANS, NEI to partner on premier 2025 nuclear conference
The American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute have announced a new partnership regarding two of their flagship industry conferences.
ANS’s annual Utility Working Conference and Vendor Technology Expo and NEI’s Nuclear Energy Assembly will merge during the week of September 8, 2025, in Atlanta, Ga. The news was shared during the kickoff of the 2024 NEA meeting, happening this week in Philadelphia, Pa.
Embedded Topical Meeting
June 15–18, 2025
This conference is the 14th in a series organized by ANS’s Human Factors, Instrumentation & Controls Division (HFICD). Authors are invited to participate in the International Topical Meeting on Nuclear Plant Instrumentation, Control, and Human-Machine Interface Technologies (NPIC & HMIT 2025). Sponsored by the American Nuclear Society (ANS), NPIC & HMIT is the de facto forum for nuclear instrumentation and control and human factors engineering professionals to meet with leaders in industry and academia, discover the state of the technology, exchange information, and discuss future directions. The conference welcomes the submission of full-length technical papers in I&C, human factors, cyber security, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, which will be peer reviewed and published as conference proceedings. Accepted papers must be presented at the conference to be included in the conference proceedings. Papers will be scheduled for either podium presentations or the student competition.
