• Semiannual list of relevant technical meetings

ANS Position Statements

• None

Participation with other Societies

• Participation with Other Professional Societies– Co-sponsor Environmental Degradation

Meeting with NACE and TMS– LWR Fuel Performance Conference jointly

sponsored by ANS, ENS, and AESJ– Many MSTD members are also members of

TMS and ASTM. ANS competes with meetings from these societies.

Society Leadership

• MSTD members hold the following positions– ANS President– Incoming NPC Vice-Chair

Non-meeting Publications

• MSTD members publish in– Journal of Nuclear Materials– Nuclear Technology– Nuclear Science and Engineering
