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.

Renewed interest in advanced reactors has led to a strong interest in advanced reprocessing approaches for increased fuel utilization, liberation of useful radioisotopes, and improved waste management approaches. This industry-focused plenary session will feature speakers from four reprocessing companies each presenting their unique perspective on advanced reprocessing technologies and their potential impact on the nuclear fuel cycle.
