It is both an honor and a privilege to begin my term as president of the American Nuclear Society. I am deeply grateful for the trust placed in me by the membership, and I look forward to serving this remarkable Society over the coming year.
I would also like to recognize the leadership of my predecessor, Hash Hashemian, as well as the dedication of ANS CEO Craig Piercy, our staff, and countless volunteers. ANS succeeds because people choose to contribute their time, expertise, and energy in service of a mission larger than themselves.
We begin this year at a moment of tremendous opportunity for nuclear science and technology. Around the world, there is growing recognition that nuclear energy and nuclear technologies are essential to addressing some of society’s most pressing challenges. At the same time, advances in areas ranging from medical isotopes and fusion to space nuclear systems and advanced reactors are creating new possibilities for innovation and impact.
Westinghouse Electric Company is shaping the future of carbon-free energy by providing safe, innovative nuclear and other clean power technologies and services globally. Westinghouse supplied the world’s first commercial pressurized water reactor in 1957 and the company’s technology is the basis for nearly one-half of the world's operating nuclear plants. Over 135 years of innovation make Westinghouse the preferred partner for advanced technologies covering the complete nuclear energy life cycle.
