President's Profile Steven Arndt: Prioritizing participation and advocacy
Steven Arndt began his one-year term last month as president of the American Nuclear Society, bringing the same high level of energy, investment, and action he has exhibited throughout his career. Reflecting on a life spent improving nuclear safety and technology, he notes that it’s not just the work; it’s also about the people and building connections and relationships. Arndt fondly recalls Peter Lyons, former NRC commissioner, assistant secretary of energy for nuclear energy, and ANS board member who passed away in April 2021. “I have been incredibly lucky to know and work with some great people in our field, and almost to a person they have been like Pete Lyons,” Arndt said. “They have been gregarious, outgoing, and supportive.”

Can you bring your authentic and whole self to your professional environment? How can you do this with the culture you’re “walking into”? How can you “mesh/assimilate into it” with a professional environmental, company, national lab, university, or organization?
This panel will introduce the concept of one’s authentic self and how individuals choose to bring their authentic self into the nuclear professional environment.
