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.

Nuclear waste: Trying again, with an approach that is flexible and vague
The Department of Energy has started over on the quest for a place to store used fuel. Its new goal, it says, is to foster a national conversation (although this might better be described as many local conversations) about a national problem that can only be solved at the local level with a “consent-based” approach. And while the department is touting the various milestones it has already reached on the way to an interim repository, the program is structured in a way that means its success will not be measurable for years.
The American Nuclear Society Scholarship Policy and Coordination Committee, Divisions, and Local Sections have announced the 2024-2025 scholarship selections. This year ANS will award $244,000 to 91 recipients.
Thank you to all the donors who have generously supported our scholarship programs.
