Commercial nuclear innovation "new space" age
In early 2006, a start-up company launched a small rocket from a tiny island in the Pacific. It exploded, showering the island with debris. A year later, a second launch attempt sent a rocket to space but failed to make orbit, burning up in the atmosphere. Another year brought a third attempt—and a third failure. The following month, in September 2008, the company used the last of its funds to launch a fourth rocket. It reached orbit, making history as the first privately funded liquid-fueled rocket to do so.

The International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering
Virtual Meeting
You may have questions and concerns due to this change. We are working hard now to provide refunds for the differential in registration fee if you already paid your in-person registration fee. We will also refund your registration if you do not wish to attend virtually. We will send out information on how you will present and listen to talks, how poster sessions will be presented, and arrangements for the Workshops. Please bear with us as we navigate these last couple of weeks until the meeting begins.
Thank you,M&C 2021 Organizing Committee
The International Conference on Mathematics and Computational Methods Applied to Nuclear Science and Engineering (M&C 2021) is a part of a series of topical meetings organized by the Mathematics and Computation Division of the American Nuclear Society. M&C conferences, held every two years, represent a series of international forums organized and sponsored to bring together worldwide expertise related to nuclear science or technology including mathematical and computational methods, numerical analysis, computer codes, computer architectures, and benchmarks for computationally solving problems in all disciplines encompassed by the Society.
