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.

Shunsuke Ide obtained Ph.D of Science from Faculty of Science, Kyoto University in 1989. Since 1990, he has been working in QST (formally JAERI, JAEA then QST) as an experimental physicist mainly on, heating and current drive, confinement, scenario development. He was appointed as the JT-60U theme leader and led the JT-60U experiment in 2002-2004. He has been appointed as the deputy director general of Naka Institute for Fusion Science and Technology of QST since 2024. Also he served as the chair of the ITPA Integrated Operation Scenario topical group 2008-2011. And he serves as the chair of the Technology Collaboration Programmes for Co-Operation on Tokamak Programmes (TCP-CTP).
