Risk-informed, performance-based design in INL’s MARVEL reactor
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 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 speaker: Doug Gerstner, a nuclear safety engineer at Idaho National Laboratory, who presented “Application of a Qualitative RIPB Approach for the MARVEL Microreactor at INL.”

Mental health has become an increasingly critical topic in the engineering field, where high stress, a historically rigid culture, and competitive environments can take a significant toll. This session highlights current research on mental health challenges and support systems in engineering education and practice. Panelists will also discuss emerging curricular efforts-such as courses designed to engage engineering students in conversations around emotional intelligence and well-being and examine how industry is responding with new resources, evolving workplace norms, and growing attention to psychological safety. Join us to explore how we can collectively engineer a culture that supports mental health across the profession.
