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
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

The Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors Virtual Meeting
Plenary Session|Panel
Monday, November 16, 2020|1:00–3:10PM EST
Session Chair:
Dave Kropaczek (ORNL)
Session Organizer:
Scott Palmtag (NCSU)
Staff Producer:
Dan Goldberg (American Nuclear Society)
Plenary Agenda
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. The CASL Symposium celebrates the completion of the Hub activities and fulfillment of the CASL vision to predict, with confidence, the performance of nuclear reactors through comprehensive, science-based M&S technology that is deployed and applied broadly throughout the nuclear energy industry to enhance safety, reliability, and economics. The CASL plenary speakers, representing organizations in government, academia, and industry provide a unique perspective on the origins and history of CASL, the governance, structure and execution of the Hub model, and the deployment of CASL-developed technology to industry.
