About?ANS
ANS is made of people who are enthusiastic and passionate?about the benefits of nuclear science and technology, whether they are nuclear professionals or not. The Chicago local section serves a large area and we focus on having technical dinner meetings to enrich the professional development of those in the field and to foster networks that may not otherwise occur. We hosted ANS NURETH-16 in 2015 and the ANS National meeting in 2012.
We pride ourselves on our public information and community outreach, which we’ve been active annually in science fair judging for over 25 years, hosting a Girl Scouts nuclear workshop for over 7 years and supporting and attending various STEM fairs or school presentations?for over a decade.? We’re always looking for new people to join who want to get involved to any degree. Membership for ANS Chicago is free, although membership with ANS National is strongly encouraged. Come to a meeting and see how you like it!
