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.

With renewed interest in reprocessing technolodies and advanced reactors, new separation options are likely to be available in the future. New reprocessing approaches and separation technologies provide the option to liberate fission products and other radioisotopes which have industrial or medical use. This panel session will focus on the market potential for radioisotopes from waste and how to use these products as a selling point for advanced fuel cycles.
