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.

NRC engineers share their expertise at the University of Puerto Rico
Robert Roche-Rivera and Marcos Rolón-Acevedo are licensed professional engineers who work at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are also alumni of the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez (UPRM) and have been sharing their knowledge and experience with students at their alma mater since last year, serving as adjunct professors in the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. During the 2023–2024 school year, they each taught two courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Nuclear Power Plant Engineering.
An author may have any number of reasons to change their name in the course of their career and wish to update their published articles to reflect this change, with or without publicly announcing this through a correction notice. ANS will update articles within Nuclear News, Radwaste Solutions, Transactions, and/or any ANS-produced proceedings where an author makes a request for their own name change, full or partial, without the requirement for an accompanying correction notice. Any pronouns in accompanying author bios and declaration statements will also be updated as part of the name change, if required. ANS’s technical journals follow a similar name change policy found at Taylor & Francis.
When you request a name change, ANS will:
If you wish a correction notice to be published alongside your name change, ANS will accommodate this on request, but it is not required for an author name change to be made.
To request a name change, please contact ANS at askanything@ans.org.
ANS considers it a breach of publication ethics to request a name change for an individual without their explicit consent.
