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.

Announcing this year's ANS Winter Conference and expo Theme:
Nuclear is enjoying a well-earned moment in the sun. In the last few years, the need for reliable, clean energy has come into sharper focus. We have witnessed historic public investments in both new and existing nuclear technology, accompanied by a strengthening of public support and acceptance. Is the industry up to the task of capitalizing on these tailwinds? To be successful we will need to maintain our current nuclear plants and facilities at their peak condition for long term operations while we simultaneously commercialize a new generation of advanced technologies. Challenges abound. We need a larger workforce, reinvigorated supply chains, a robust nuclear R&D infrastructure, and expanded public and private sector investments, and increased public advocacy for the benefits of the nuclear power.
How do we maintain momentum in a rapidly changing energy and environmental landscape? Join America’s top nuclear leaders and be part of the conversation.
Over a quarter of our audience has decision-making and buying power (CNO, COO, VP and Senior level staff). These powerful decision-makers control huge budgets and attend the Winter Conference and Expo with serious purchasing intent, looking for new technology solutions and practical innovations that best fit their operations’ needs.
Is your organization looking to bring on new talent with fresh ideas and energy? Thirty two percent of our audience are students and young members, just finishing college or looking for their first opportunity in the industry. Make your presence known to graduates from some of the top universities in the world.
