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
Nuclear Criticality Safety
NCSD provides communication among nuclear criticality safety professionals through the development of standards, the evolution of training methods and materials, the presentation of technical data and procedures, and the creation of specialty publications. In these ways, the division furthers the exchange of technical information on nuclear criticality safety with the ultimate goal of promoting the safe handling of fissionable materials outside reactors.

Session Chair:
David Kropaczek (ORNL)
Alternate Chair:
Scott Palmtag (NC State Univ.)
Session Organizer:
Staff Producer:
William Dawn (NC State Univ.)
The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL) was founded in July 2010 as a Department of Energy (DOE) Energy Innovation Hub with the mission to develop, apply, and deploy advanced modeling and simulation (M&S) technologies to address operational and safety performance challenges impacting the performance of the Light Water Reactor fleet. Over its history CASL developed, evolved and executed a unique model encompassing governance, program management, technical leadership, external science and industry oversight, and technical deliverables. This panel focuses on lessons learned from leaders within the CASL program representing perspectives from the DOE laboratories, academia and industry.
