Deep Space: The new frontier of radiation controls
In commercial nuclear power, there has always been a deliberate tension between the regulator and the utility owner. The regulator fundamentally exists to protect the worker, and the utility, to make a profit. It is a win-win balance.
From the U.S. nuclear industry has emerged a brilliantly successful occupational nuclear safety record—largely the result of an ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) process that has driven exposure rates down to what only a decade ago would have been considered unthinkable. In the U.S. nuclear industry, the system has accomplished an excellent, nearly seamless process that succeeds to the benefit of both employee and utility owner.
2023 ANS Student Conference Speaker
Jeremy graduated with a B.S. in Nuclear, Plasma, and Radiological Engineering from UIUC in 2018, and is now a graduate student studying plasma processing under Professor David Ruzic. He has been involved in ANS throughout his college career, serving at both the local and national level. As an undergraduate, Jeremy served as the External Vice President and President of the UIUC ANS chapter. In graduate school, Jeremy has continued his involvement through mentorship, participation in the student sections committee of ANS, and most recently in the planning and hosting of the 2022 ANS Student Conference as the technical co-chair. After his graduate degree Jeremy aspires to stay in academia as a professor so he can continue to engage with students and the nuclear community as a whole.
