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:
Matt Jasica (Argonne National Lab)
Whether it's giving a technical talk, outreach to the public, or advocating to policymakers, communication is an integral part of our jobs. This is especially crucial given the politicized nature of nuclear and misinformation surrounding it. While mythbusting and rational arguments are popular tools for countering misinformation, these style of arguments often hold less weight than deeper-rooted philosophical and cultural worldviews. Get ready to walk a mile in someone else's shoes as we explore the different ways nuclear and climate solutions may be perceived and how we talk about them.
