American Nuclear Society elects four new Fellows La Grange Park, IL (June 7, 2005) - The American Nuclear Society (ANS) will salute the work of four new Fellows from its membership for their pioneering contributions to the field of nuclear science and technology at noon, June 8, during the Society's 2005 Annual meeting, "The Next 50 Years: Creating Opportunities," in San Diego, Calif. The prestigious ANS Fellow designation acknowledges the extraordinary leadership of nuclear professionals in diverse disciplines relating to research, invention, engineering, safety, technical leadership and teaching. The most recently named ANS Fellows are: Richard E. Faw for his influence on the nuclear engineering profession through his textbooks and research publications, especially in radiation protection and shielding. He inspired the careers of graduates by his example in the classroom and the laboratory. Joy L. Rempe for substantially advancing the science of nuclear technology through her dedicated research efforts and significant publications in the field of nuclear reactor severe accidents. Her work has provided key new insights and tools for understanding severe accident vessel response, late-phase melt progression and heat transfer, and in-vessel retention. John M. Ryskamp for outstanding leadership and innovation in nuclear reactor design, the Generation IV Technology Roadmap development, test reactor experiment design, and reactor physics analysis. Ruth F. Weiner for outstanding work in risk analysis and dissemination of information about the safety of transporting radioactive materials. Her leadership as a teacher, textbook author and public speaker is an inspiration to the profession. Additional detail on ANS Fellows can be found at www.ans.org. |
