Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

Technical Session
Saturday, November 8, 2025|3:00–3:50PM EST|Columbia 9
This panel follows up on sessions from the ANS Annual Conferences in 2024 and 2025, where we explored nuclear’s role in strategic international relationships and the challenges and successes the industry is experiencing abroad. In this session, we will expand on these topics by bringing in voices from international research collaborations, standards development, and reactor construction projects. Some of the questions we will explore include: How are international collaborations first facilitated? And how can young members become involved in these efforts?
