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
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

Nuclear forensics is the analysis of nuclear materials, devices, emissions, and signals to determine the origin and history of those nuclear materials and devices. Recent reports (e.g., National Academy of Science, Department of Homeland Security, and National Nuclear Security Administration) have identified critical workforce development, technological capability, and infrastructure needs necessary to revitalize nuclear forensics research, training, and operations in the United States. This panel session will bring together leaders in the field from national laboratories, government agencies, and academia to discuss the state of nuclear forensics (globally and domestically), current technical and operational challenges driving research and development needs, and future workforce and infrastructure requirements.
