Mark Peters: Building on a strong foundation
Summer at the American Nuclear Society carries with it a sense of renewed momentum as the incoming president takes office and starts making plans for the year ahead. This has been particularly true in the last few years, as nuclear energy moves into a new era marked by broader public interest, stronger policy support, and a growing sense of possibility across the field. Mark Peters, the Society’s 72nd president, shares that optimism—and he is focused on turning it into results.
We develop software for accurately, efficiently, and easily predicting radiation fields. Our Attila® and Attila4MCTM products are used worldwide for shielding, radiological protection, and a myriad of other scenarios where radiation effects play an important role in product or system performance, safety, or reliability. Our mission focuses around delivering state-of-the-art software leveraging both Monte Carlo and deterministic methods, and combining with robust CAD integration, to help organizations efficiently integrate radiation transport simulations into their design cycle.
