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.

Microreactors will be utilizing new modeling and simulation tools that are based on multi physics and these tools will need to be utilized for both design and operational support. We'll be discussing on this panel about how these new generation light-weight systems should be developed and what kinds of business-model innovation will be needed to be able to support the next wave of micro reactors.
