Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

TVA to file for Clinch River SMR construction permit by June
In a Q&A posted on TVA’s website last week about a “new nuclear heyday,” Bob Deacy shared his vision for the Clinch River nuclear site in Oak Ridge, Tenn.—and some news about next steps for the company’s small modular reactor plans.
The Tennessee Valley Authority’s senior vice president for the Clinch River project, Deacy described his vision for up to four SMRs built on plots smaller than a football field with state-of-the-art digital equipment and a newly trained workforce providing reliable 24/7 power to the grid.

People often ask, “what about the waste?” U.S. nuclear fuel cycle and waste policy has been stuck in “Groundhog Day” mode for 13 years. However, if one looks closely, there are small signs of life: advanced reactor developers and other companies engaging with NRC on licensing pathways for nuclear fuel recycling; commercial interest in deep borehole disposal; a looming license for a private interim storage facility in New Mexico; the U.S. Department of Energy’s well-funded program to explore consent-based siting of interim storage facilities; and ANS’s recently released report recommending a new generic standard for disposal of used fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Does activity equate to progress? Are we turning the corner? Join us to find out.
