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.

Topic: Open Science in the MCD Community. In 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced the Year of Open Science and allocated resources to advance open science throughout research communities. In the past several years, we have seen growing support for open-source software and open publishing in MCD and ANS. In this roundtable we’ll discuss open science practices in the MCD community – including open results, open data, publishing, and open source software – and explore existing issues and barriers to its practice. How do we transition to open practices from closed cultures? What incentives are there to be open? What are we doing well? What should we not do? Panelists will discuss these topics in conversation with the moderator and the audience.
