ANS Standards Support Application of Nuclear Technology
The American Nuclear Society (ANS) includes members from 46 countries committed to the awareness and understanding of the application of nuclear science and technology. This professional organization counts among its members scientists, engineers, and other professionals from private industry, academia, and the government. ANS standards provide the nuclear industry with essential information related to nuclear facility design, engineering, operations, research, and regulatory oversight.
ANS standards cover topics such as:
- design criteria for nuclear power stations
- criticality control of fuel mixtures
- radioactive dosage criteria
- concrete radiation shield design
- accident alarm systems for nuclear plants
- safety guide for the performance of critical experiments
- evaluation of surface water supplies for nuclear power sites
- selection qualification and training of personnel for nuclear power plants
Engineers, designers, researchers, and regulatory authorities find ANS standards useful to assure the safe and compliant execution of nuclear activities.
ANS standards are available from IHS as online subscriptions or in hardcopy. The right purchase option for your company assures that you have the access you need to this essential technical and safety-related information while maintaining compliance with ANS copyright restrictions.
