HPS and ANS Teaming Up to Communicate Radiation and Nuclear Safety

The Health Physics Society (HPS) and the American Nuclear Society (ANS) are teaming up to better serve our memberships and the public in understanding radiation and nuclear safety issues. As part of the collaboration, the HPS Ask the Experts and the ANS Rapid Response Taskforce are partnering to monitor the radiological and nuclear situation in war-besieged Ukraine and are ready to answer media inquiries.

"The American Nuclear Society is proud to announce our new collaboration with the Health Physics Society in communicating radiation and nuclear safety to the public by answering inquiries from the media and policy makers," said ANS President Steven P. Nesbit. "The mission of the collaboration is to provide the public, the media, and decision makers with science-based, technical expertise on radiation and nuclear technologies."

"The Health Physics Society is pleased to collaborate with the American Nuclear Society to assist the media in promoting fact-based reporting and to help respond to public inquiries on radiation safety and related issues," said HPS President John Cardarelli.
