FPoliSolutions demonstrates RISE, an RIPB systems engineering tool
The American Nuclear Society’s Risk-informed, Performance-based Principles and Policy Committee (RP3C) has held another presentation in its monthly Community of Practice (CoP) series. Former RP3C chair N. Prasad Kadambi opened the October 3 meeting with brief introductory remarks about the RP3C and the need for new approaches to nuclear design that go beyond conventional and deterministic methods. He then welcomed this month’s speakers: Mike Mankosa, a project engineer at FPoliSolutions, and Cesare Frepoli, the company’s president, who together presented “Introduction to RISE: A Digital Framework for Maintaining a Risk-Informed Safety Case for Current and Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants.”

2023 ANS Student Conference Speaker
Grace Stanke Fast Facts
"In addition to helping change public perception of nuclear energy and technology, I hope to inspire youth, especially young girls, to explore STEM and to see that going into these fields, including nuclear engineering, is an option for them."
- Grace Stanke. Miss America 2023
Clean Energy, Cleaner Future
Grace is inspiring worldwide political change for clean zero-carbon emission energy sources, and the next generation of scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. She emphasizes the benefits of nuclear power in the pursuit of a zero-carbon future through her social impact initiative, "Clean Energy, Cleaner Future." The use of nuclear power as a source of clean energy has little public acceptance and is often overlooked. Yet, it provides an economical, reliable, and safer means of powering our country without carbon emission. By providing children their first exposure to the word "nuclear," Grace hopes to establish a new high school curriculum to include nuclear physics.
