Empowering the next generation: ANS’s newest book focuses on careers in nuclear energy
A new career guide for the nuclear energy industry is now available: The Nuclear Empowered Workforce by Earnestine Johnson. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across 16 nuclear facilities, Johnson offers a practical, insightful look into some of the many career paths available in commercial nuclear power. To mark the release, Johnson sat down with Nuclear News for a wide-ranging conversation about her career, her motivation for writing the book, and her advice for the next generation of nuclear professionals.
When Johnson began her career at engineering services company Stone & Webster, she entered a field still reeling from the effects of the Three Mile Island incident in 1979, nearly 15 years earlier. Her hiring cohort was the first group of new engineering graduates the company had brought on since TMI, a reflection of the industry-wide pause in nuclear construction. Her first long-term assignment—at the Millstone site in Waterford, Conn., helping resolve design issues stemming from TMI—marked the beginning of a long and varied career that spanned positions across the country.

NPIC&HMIT 2025 call for journal papers
NPIC&HMIT 2025 has partnered with the ANS journal Nuclear Technology (NT) to publish a special issue of papers derived from the conference.
**Submission window: open now with a deadline of September 15, 2025.
Details:
Submit to NT. Please select “NPIC&HMIT 2025” from the list of special issues.

Alternatively, should you choose not to pursue journal publication, we invite you to consider submitting to the ANS online platform Nuclear Science and Technology Open Research (NSTOR). NSTOR welcomes submissions where authors prefer, or funders require, a fully open publication venue for research articles, and/or where authors would like to submit article types not typically supported by archival journals (e.g., brief reports, method articles, data notes, posters/presentations). NSTOR is fully open access and has publication charges dependent upon article type; although, these fees are 50% discounted if submitting before December 31, 2025.
Submit to NSTOR – Questions? Email nstor@ans.org.
Thank you again for attending NPIC&HMIT 2025, and we hope you participate in this special issue opportunity!
