The Georgia Tech American Nuclear Society chapter supports the ANS mission, which is described on the main ANS web site as follows:
"The American Nuclear Society is a not-for-profit, international, scientific and educational organization. It was established by a group of individuals who recognized the need to unify the professional activities within the diverse fields of nuclear science and technology. December 11, 1954, marks the Society's historic beginning at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. ANS has since developed a multifarious membership composed of approximately 11,000 engineers, scientists, administrators, and educators representing 1,600 plus corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies. It is governed by four officers and a board of directors elected by the membership."
Purpose: The core purpose of ANS is to promote the
awareness and understanding of the application of nuclear
science and technology.
Vision: ANS will be the recognized credible advocate for
advancing and promoting nuclear science and technology.
The Georgia Tech chapter has taken part in many activities in
this vein, including visiting high school classes, taking group
trips to nuclear facilities, having guest speakers on campus,
facilitating interaction within the chapter, and other things of
this nature. We can be contacted
