Empowering the next generation: ANS’s newest book focuses on careers in nuclear energy
A new career guide for the nuclear energy industry is now available: The Nuclear Empowered Workforce by Earnestine Johnson. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across 16 nuclear facilities, Johnson offers a practical, insightful look into some of the many career paths available in commercial nuclear power. To mark the release, Johnson sat down with Nuclear News for a wide-ranging conversation about her career, her motivation for writing the book, and her advice for the next generation of nuclear professionals.
When Johnson began her career at engineering services company Stone & Webster, she entered a field still reeling from the effects of the Three Mile Island incident in 1979, nearly 15 years earlier. Her hiring cohort was the first group of new engineering graduates the company had brought on since TMI, a reflection of the industry-wide pause in nuclear construction. Her first long-term assignment—at the Millstone site in Waterford, Conn., helping resolve design issues stemming from TMI—marked the beginning of a long and varied career that spanned positions across the country.

Korea(KO) has developed liquid a breeder blanket and participated in the Test Blanket Module (TBM) program within the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) with a Helium Cooled Molten Lithium (HCML) concept. To develop the liquid breeder technologies with not only liquid lithium but also lead-lithium (PbLi), an Experimental Loop for a Liquid breeder (ELLI) was constructed at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). The main purposes of the loop are developing components such as an electromagnetic (EM) pump, testing the effects of magneto-hydro-dynamics (MHD), and investigating the compatibility between liquid breeder and other materials. In the present study, the measurement results of a magnetic field in the fabricated magnet, and a performance test of the EM pump, were introduced in order to validate their designs; the magnet used for the MHD test with a liquid PbLi was designed to produce about 2 T, and the measurement results show that the maximum field was about 2.2 T with a ferritic martensitic (FM) steel channel. The EM pump was designed to circulate the liquid PbLi at up to 60 Ipm, and was tested for up to 11 lpm. The test showed good agreement with the input power to the EM pump.
