1. American Nuclear Society Accelerator Applications Division Presented to the ANS Board of Directors Washington DC November 16, 2005 Denis Beller

2. AAD Mission The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.
