The American Nuclear Society (ANS) is committed to the safe and beneficial use of nuclear science and technology. ANS standards provide engineers, researchers, operations personnel, and regulatory authorities with consistent criteria for evaluating and maintaining safe nuclear operations.
ANS engineering and design standards cover design basis accidents, materials specifications, site evaluation, and many other nuclear power-related topics. Whether your company is involved with the design of radiation shields, testing of nuclear plant instrumentation, or verification and validation of software there are ANS standards available to provide you with essential information.
Topics covered by ANS standards include:
- design of criticality experiments
- steady-state neutron reaction-rate distributions
- seismic instrumentation
- fuel handing systems
- external-event probability risk assessments
- safe shutdown of reactors
- alarm systems
