Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Constellation Energy has announced that it will seek to restart Unit 1 of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania as part of an agreement with Microsoft to power that company’s data centers. Given the growing interest by tech companies in using clean, reliable nuclear power to meet their growing energy demands, the September 20 announcement to reopen TMI-1, which was shut down and defueled in 2019, was not a huge surprise.

Opened in 2005, the Atomic Museum provides educational and scientific displays and programs to facilitate the public’s understanding of nuclear science and technology. The Museum supports workforce development initiatives to meet the nation’s future clean energy and national security goals. The Atomic Museum is a Smithsonian Affiliate and also designated as a national museum. The presentation will discuss the challenges associated with opening the museum, a new STEM educational exhibit opening in 2024, and the exciting plans to reimagine the museum’s main displays in the coming years.
