PR: American Nuclear Society welcomes Senate confirmation of Ted Garrish as the DOE’s nuclear energy secretary
Washington, D.C. — The American Nuclear Society (ANS) applauds the U.S. Senate's confirmation of Theodore “Ted” Garrish as Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
“On behalf of over 11,000 professionals in the fields of nuclear science and technology, the American Nuclear Society congratulates Mr. Garrish on being confirmed by the Senate to once again lead the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy,” said ANS President H.M. "Hash" Hashemian.

TerraPower will be presenting and interactively demonstrating its nuclear engineering automation platform which was recently open-sourced on GitHub (see https://github.com/terrapower/armi). This system provides a reactor at your fingertips. When you hook your existing analysis tools into it or build a new analysis tool upon it, you can automate entire analysis methodologies with a high-level Python interface. This allows new levels of cross-team communication and collaboration that we believe (from our internal experience) can revolutionize productivity in nuclear engineering analysis. We open sourced it specifically to inspire collaboration in the industry and to minimize re-work of “commodity” data management so you can focus on what really matters: pushing the envelope in reactor delivery. In this session, we will introduce the ARMI framework as a concept, explain how to download it, and go through a few interactive demonstrations to give you an idea of how to use it. If you want to follow along, try downloading and installing it off of github in advance. After this workshop, you should know enough to connect your team’s research tooling into the ARMI framework.
