- Division Spotlight
  Reactor Physics
  The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

Talking About Low-dose Radiation Risk

January 21, 2021|11:00AM–12:00PM (12:00–1:00PM EST)

Members ANS Members Only

ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.

Join us for a special Q&A with an expert panel as they discuss how to communicate about the risk of low-dose radiation. This free members-only event is a follow-up to the “Risky Business” President’s Session that took place during the ANS Virtual Winter Meeting in November (watch the session below). The session will take a deeper dive into the many questions generated from the thought-provoking discussion.

Topics addressed will include:

How do we get “Reasonable” put back into the implementation of ALARA? What government/industry players must come together to make this happen?
What can scientists/engineers do to help dispel myths about radiation and nuclear and explain their benefits?
What can we learn from how other industries manage risk?
