American Nuclear Society (ANS)
ANS (OSU Chapter) Meeting Minutes
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 engineers, scientists, administrators, and educators. It is governed by three officers and a board of directors elected by this membership.Approximately 15,000 individuals representing 1,600 plus corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies belong to ANS. Approximately 1000 members live overseas in 40 countries. ANS currently has 52 U.S. and nine overseas local sections, 32 plant branches, 51 student branches, and more than 115 organization members.
The Society's main objective is to promote the advancement of engineering and science relating to the atomic nucleus, and of allied sciences and arts. Other purposes are to integrate the many nuclear science and technology disciplines, encourage research, establish scholarships, disseminate information, hold meetings for the presentation and discussion of scientific and technical papers, and cooperate with government agencies, educational institutions, and other organziations having similar purposes.
