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.

Session Organizer:
This panel would like to initiate inclusion discussions and increase awareness of the needs. We will hear experts from academia, national laboratory, industry, and ANS about their backgrounds, experiences, and diversity statistics throughout their organization. We will try to come up with practical answers to the three main questions: How can we approach the community and support social inclusion? How to promote diversity and inclusion in PSA? What can be done to attract diverse and underrepresented groups into the PSA area and nuclear? Please join us and share your experiences and suggestions.
