Mark Peters: Building on a strong foundation
Summer at the American Nuclear Society carries with it a sense of renewed momentum as the incoming president takes office and starts making plans for the year ahead. This has been particularly true in the last few years, as nuclear energy moves into a new era marked by broader public interest, stronger policy support, and a growing sense of possibility across the field. Mark Peters, the Society’s 72nd president, shares that optimism—and he is focused on turning it into results.

Nuclear criticality safety process analysis is required to determine that the entire process will be subcritical under both normal and credible abnormal upsets. The analysis documents generated tend to focus on the operating process and does not always address infrequent activities like preventative and/or corrective maintenance. Panelists will discuss the interface of NCS and maintenance activities at their facility.
