American Nuclear Society Isotopes and Radiation Division Presentation to the ANS Board of Directors Leo Bobek, IRD Chair June 16, 2004 Pittsburgh, PA
Mission (1) develop the uses of I&R in scientific R&D and in industrial processes; (2) promote the advancement of knowledge of nuclear phenomena and techniques; (3) stimulate techniques, materials, equipment, and facilities that use I&R in research through the collaboration of industrial, governmental, medical, and educational institutions.
Governance • • • Chair (1 yr. Term) Vice-chair (1 yr. Term) Secretary (2 yr. Term) Treasurer (1 yr. Term) Exec. Comm. (6 -12 members allowable) – currently 9 members (3 yr. Terms) with 1/3 replaced each year.

Budget Previous Year Current Year
Strategic & Succession Plan • 5 yr Strategic and 1 year tactical (including succession) approved at this meeting.
Communications • Web: http: //ird. ans. org/ (est. 2003) – Currently bare bones (mission statement and executive committee). Plan is to update and include newsletters, minutes, information on honors & awards • E-mail: ird@list. ans. org – Used and useful. • Spring 04 Newsletter
Position Statement • PPS#30 “U. S. Radioisotopes Supply” – Update should be approved this meeting – Update is the result of the 2004 ANS President’s Special Committee on Isotope Assurance and forthcoming position paper – IRD Chair served on the committee
Participation with Other Professional Societies • National Organization of Test, Research, and Training Reactors (TRTR) - representing nearly 50 research reactors from government, industry, and universities throughout the U. S. and worldwide. – At least one session at each national meeting is devoted to research reactors and is sponsored or co-sponsored by IRD. • Institute of Nuclear Materials Management (INMM) – promotes best approaches and procedures for implementing all aspects of nuclear materials management – Participation at Safeguards Topical Conf.
Society Leadership • Exec. Comm. has > 50% participation at national meetings (required for quorum) • Lacking participation in PDC efforts • Full participation in NPC efforts
Non-Meeting Publications • The IRD does not actively stimulate contributions to non-meeting publications, however, members do contribute papers to the technical journals. • IRD Chair contributed to the special committee forthcoming position paper on isotope assurance
Professional Development • IRD has not supported any professional development workshops or activities
Scholarships JAMES R. VOGT MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP • Established in 1986 to recognize outstanding students at U. S. Universities and colleges entering the field of radioanalytical chemistry and its applications. • Students must be engaged or proposing to undertake graduate or undergraduate research in radioanalytical chemistry or its applications. • $2500 award • Currently funded at $28 k, IRD Exec. Comm. has voted to devote future topical meetings income towards endowing the scholarship. • BMD is a co-sponsor.
Peer Awards • Radiation Science & Technology Award – recognizes outstanding creative applications of radiation sciences and engineering principles – $2000 award, currently funded at $37 k • Mishima Award – recognizes outstanding contributions in research and development work on nuclear fuels and materials. – IRD co-sponsors this award with the Materials Science and Technology Division
Student Support • IRD has funded $500 for each student conference over the past several years
