How has digital technology changed environmental remediation?
Jesus Zamora
Regardless of the specific field you work in or how your daily tasks are performed, digital technology does not go unnoticed, and the environmental remediation field is no exception. Digital technology can be defined as electronic tools, services, or devices that create, store, transmit, and manage data. As technology evolves, so do the ways in which it can be incorporated into remediation activities.
Adequate incorporation of these technologies can greatly improve both workflow and productivity while enhancing the quality and maintaining the integrity of data. My team and I have been able to connect radiological instruments to computers wirelessly, collect millions of radiological measurements, track the approximate location of these measurements, save measurements automatically in a database, and access them at will.
The American Nuclear Society is the product of its membership and communities, one of which cannot exist without the other. Communities allow ANS members to amplify their research, networks, ideas, relationships, themselves, and many other important facets of an ANS member’s life.
Professional Divisions
Specialized technical and working groups that allow members to pursue connections and advancement within unique areas of study or work.
Local Sections/Plant Branches
Local organizations that allow members to interact with other members and learn about relevant issues in their region.
Student Sections
University-based organizations that open the doors of membership to the next generation of ANS members and helps them prepare for their futures.
Please send all information updates and/or additions regarding Professional Divisions, Local Sections, Student Sections, or Plant Branches to Governance Services.
