  15. Professional Divisions Manual Flexibility of the Society's divisional organizational structure is important in such a rapidly developing field as nuclear energy. This can be assured by: (a) the merging of Divisions or Groups when scope and functions overlap or greater strength could be gained by broader interdisciplinary activity; (b) the formation of new Groups to foster new disciplines or change technical emphasis; (c) the dissolution of Groups or Divisions to reflect changes in emphasis. Role of the PDC is to continually evaluate the Division structure http://www.new.ans.org/about/committees/pdc/

  16. PDC Manual – Role of Divisions Each division should have as primary aims: (a) the promotion of high quality technical and scientific sessions at the annual meeting; (b) sponsorship of topical meetings that are carefully planned with consideration of the relationship to the National Society meetings; (c) sponsorship of special technical documents such as review articles and standards. http://www.new.ans.org/about/committees/pdc/

  17. PD/TGs service to Society Promote joint sponsorship of meetings by more than one division, treating a topic in depth and with interdisciplinary content. Support and contribute to the functions and objectives of the Society; serve on national committees, the Board, and as officers. Support the development of Society-sponsored short course programs with the Professional Development Coordination Committee. Relationships with pertinent outside professional society activities should be maintained and strengthened. Cooperate with Society's other constituent units and standing committees for continuity on working towards the goals of the Society. http://www.new.ans.org/about/committees/pdc/
