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.

Knowledge transfer has traditionally been primarily viewed as a one-way process from the older generation to the younger generation, shaped by the valuable knowledge, wisdom and skills of the former. However, the concept of reverse knowledge transfer (where the two roles are reversed) has become increasingly important in today’s fast-evolving world – it is essential for keeping societies adaptive, workplaces innovative and individuals of all ages relevant and empowered. This session will interview a number of early and mid-career members of the Division. As well as seeking advice to their peers, modern insight will be sought (e.g. on technologies, trends or new ways of thinking) that can help to drive improvements in the nuclear criticality safety community, aided through this intergenerational collaboration. Questions will be solicited from the audience as part of the session.
