A fateful day for nuclear waste policy: January 31, 1998
Next week will mark 25 years since January 31, 1998, a familiar date to most in the nuclear community, and revisited in today’s #ThrowbackThursday post with an article from the March 1998 issue of Nuclear News. “Those in the nuclear power industry are aware of the significance of the date January 31, 1998. ln the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, that date was set as the deadline for the U.S. government—more specifically, the Department of Energy—to begin taking possession of and responsibility for spent nuclear fuel from nuclear power plants nationwide” (NN, March 1998, p. 59).

The word that replaces a name/noun if the subject is unknown or already established. For example: If Finley’s pronouns are she, her, and hers, you could say "Finley ate her ice cream because she didn’t want it to melt." She, her, hers are examples of pronouns in this case. Many avoid the labels "female/feminine" and "male/masculine" when referring to pronouns because, for example, not everyone who uses he feels like a "male" or "masculine." There are also lots of gender-neutral pronouns that you might not realize we already use. Here are a few you might hear: - They, them, theirs (Finley ate their ice cream because they didn’t want it to melt.) are a common example that we often use when a subject’s pronouns are unknown, but also work for known singular individuals. - Ze, hir (Finley ate hir ice cream because ze didn’t want it to melt.) Ze is pronounced like "zee" can also be spelled zie or xe, and replaces she/he/they. Hir is pronounced like "here" and replaces her/hers/him/his/they/theirs. - Some people use a combination of these pronouns, and some people prefer not to use pronouns at all (Finley ate the ice cream because Finley didn’t want it to melt). - Never, ever refer to a person as “it” or “he-she” (unless they specifically ask you to.) These are often offensive slurs.
Why do we ask for your pronouns at registration? Why should I consider putting them on my name badge?
By asking for your pronouns, we are ensuring that we don’t accidentally misgender any of our participants or make harmful assumptions based on appearance.Even if you have never considered this in relation to yourself, by including your pronouns on your name badge you can help to make other participants comfortable. We hope you will consider this, and we will be including pronouns on each person’s name tag.
There are many resources, one that we recommend you consult if you have questions or want to learn more is https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why
