Division Spotlight
Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy
The mission of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division (NNPD) is to promote the peaceful use of nuclear technology while simultaneously preventing the diversion and misuse of nuclear material and technology through appropriate safeguards and security, and promotion of nuclear nonproliferation policies. To achieve this mission, the objectives of the NNPD are to: Promote policy that discourages the proliferation of nuclear technology and material to inappropriate entities. Provide information to ANS members, the technical community at large, opinion leaders, and decision makers to improve their understanding of nuclear nonproliferation issues. Become a recognized technical resource on nuclear nonproliferation, safeguards, and security issues. Serve as the integration and coordination body for nuclear nonproliferation activities for the ANS. Work cooperatively with other ANS divisions to achieve these objective nonproliferation policies.

The Distinguished Early Career Program (DECP) is the Office of Nuclear Energy's (NE) most prestigious award for faculty members beginning their independent careers. The intent of the program is to invest in the innovative research and education programs of outstanding early-career university faculty poised to pave new lines of inquiry and advance mission-critical research directions in nuclear energy while training the next generation of nuclear energy professionals. Panelists will consist of awardees for the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy's Distinguished Early Career Program. The purpose of this panel is to focus on insights regarding 1) challenges and barriers associated with balancing time and effort while teaching, mentoring, and researching; 2) tips on proposal writing; and 3) efforts related to developing and maintaining professional and/or collaborative relationships.
