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.

At this panel, scientists and engineers from molten salt reactor companies and research institutions will provide their views regarding industrial needs for fundamental research on molten salt properties, chemistry, and corrosion to support molten salt reactor development and applications. The session will cover both fluoride and chloride salts. Each panelist will present a short presentation prior to an open Q&A session in which the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions, provide suggestions, and express their opinions. It is expected that the session will facilitate fruitful discussion between industry experts, researchers at national laboratories, and universities, including scientists, professors and students.
