The San Diego Section of the American Nuclear Society is the local section of the ANS for Southern California. If you have interest in nuclear science and technology, we invite you to become a member. We hold periodic (~bimonthly) dinner meetings with a speaker on a topic of interest. In addition, we conduct student education and public information and outreach activities. Local section membership is possible for $10 annually or through national ANS membership. The American Nuclear Society (ANS) 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 various 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 diverse 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. The ANS website can be viewed at
