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
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.
Meeting Spotlight
International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2025)
April 27–30, 2025

Pacific Fusion predicts “1,000-fold leap” in performance, net facility gain by 2030
Inertial fusion energy (IFE) developer Pacific Fusion, based in Fremont, Calif., announced this morning that it is on target to achieve net facility gain—more fusion energy out than all energy stored in the system—with a demonstration system by 2030, and backs the claim with a technical paper published yesterday on arXiv: “Affordable, manageable, practical, and scalable (AMPS) high-yield and high-gain inertial fusion.”
Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee Webinar Series
September 2, 2020|12:00–1:30PM (1:00–2:30PM EDT)
ANS Members Only
ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
How can ANS address this important issue? Panelists will discuss racial justice, sharing experiences through their personal and professional roles. Attendees are welcome to submit questions and comments during the conversation. Recommendations will serve as a springboard for the work of ANS and DIA in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The webinar is free to ANS members, who are encouraged to attend and participate.
