My story: Stanley Levinson—ANS member since 1983
Levinson early in his career and today.
As a member of the American Nuclear Society, I have been to many conferences. The International Conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Analysis (PSA ’25), embedded in ANS Annual Meeting in Chicago in June, held special significance for me with the PSA ’25 opening plenary session recognizing the 50th anniversary of the publication of WASH-1400, which helped define my career. Reflecting on that milestone sent me back to 1975, when I was just an undergraduate student studying nuclear engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, N.Y., focusing on my mechanics, fluids, and thermodynamic classes as well as my first set of nuclear engineering classes. At that time—and many times since—the question “Why nuclear engineering?” was raised.
Advances in Nuclear Fuel Management (ANFM 2025)
Dr. G. Ivan Maldonado is a Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee (UT) Department of Nuclear Engineering and Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS). He has been affiliated with the US nuclear industry for more than 30 years, with expertise in computational modeling and simulation of current and next-generation nuclear reactors and specialization in nuclear fuel management optimization. He has led a multitude of research and instructional projects with students at three universities (Iowa State, Univ. of Cincinnati, and UT) and with colleagues nationally and internationally, while mentoring 23 PhD and 50 MS graduates in the process, so far. Past projects have involved core neutronics for PWRs, BWRs, SMRs, CANDUs, VVERs, FHR (salt-cooled), MSRs, and most recently fusion reactors. Dr. Maldonado has published around 250 peer-reviewed publications with his students, has been a consultant to the US NRC ACRS, Guest Editor to the Progress in Nuclear Energy and Annals of Nuclear Energy journals, served as Technical Program Chair and Division Chair for the ANS Reactor Physics Division (RPD), and was a former Technical Program Manager with GE Nuclear Energy / Global Nuclear Fuels in support of core/bundle design, licensing, and operational management of BWR reactors in the US and abroad.
