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.
Meeting Spotlight

Global partnerships advance the nuclear enterprise, demonstrating commitment to energy security, supply chain buildout, and economic and human development. Collaborations remain imperative, keeping these things in mind:
Approximately half of the 400-GW reactor fleet will be retiring by 2040.1
The forecasted need for new nuclear is 300–600 GW by 2050.
There is a need to counter the build-own-operate model.2
Appropriate funding and financing mechanisms are needed.
Host country regulatory oversight is paramount.
By 2050, there will be 4 million nuclear professionals supporting the industry.3
