Deep Space: The new frontier of radiation controls
In commercial nuclear power, there has always been a deliberate tension between the regulator and the utility owner. The regulator fundamentally exists to protect the worker, and the utility, to make a profit. It is a win-win balance.
From the U.S. nuclear industry has emerged a brilliantly successful occupational nuclear safety record—largely the result of an ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) process that has driven exposure rates down to what only a decade ago would have been considered unthinkable. In the U.S. nuclear industry, the system has accomplished an excellent, nearly seamless process that succeeds to the benefit of both employee and utility owner.

Come join us for the inaugural NCSD Young Member Subcommittee social event! Just a 5-minute walk from the conference venue! The first hour will be a speed ‘meet and greet’ event so have a 5-minute pitch for your job/involvement with NCS ready and be prepared to exchange contact information. The second hour will be for additional socializing. Drink tickets will be provided for participants (extra tickets provided if you volunteer for a sub position in the committee). The goal of this is to meet your colleagues, possibly identify a ‘buddy’ at a different site to regularly communicate with, and to have fun. Looking forward to seeing you at the event!
For more information about the NCSD Young Member Subcommittee please visit our website.
Target Audience: Those that meet the ANS young members definition (35 years or younger or 6 years from graduation) or new to working in the NCS discipline (less than 5 years).
Capacity: 40 attendees. Please note, this is 21 and over only event.
Please RSVP for the event by emailing James Cole at jrcole@sandia.gov.
