Session Organizer:
This panel is intended to follow up on a panel from the ANS Annual Conference in 2024, where we explored nuclear's role in strategic international relationships, and the challenges and success that the industry is seeing abroad. In this session, we're looking to expand on these topics and bring voices from international research collaborations, standards development, reactor construction projects. Some questions we'd like to explore are: How are these international collaborations first facilitated? How can young members go about getting involved in these efforts?
