About MSTD
The
objectives of MSTD are: promote the advancement of materials science in
Nuclear Science Technology; support the multidisciplines which constitute
it; encourage research by providing a forum for the presentation, exchange,
and documentation of relevant information; promote the interaction and
communication among its members; and recognize and reward its members for
significant contributions to the field of materials science in nuclear
technology.
To meet these goals, the Division sponsors technical programming associated
with the American Nuclear Society Annual and Winter Meetings, as well as
separate conferences focused on specific materials topics. The technical content
of these meetings is documented in a variety of ways including
peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings books. To encourage young
materials professionals, the Division typically sponsors a variety of
student activities including scholarships, ANS student conferences, and
travel support to ANS Annual and Winter Meetings. The MSTD also sponsors a
biennial awards luncheon at the ANS Winter Meetings to recognize
significant contributions to the nuclear materials field.
