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.

The development and deployment of the VERA suite in the CASL program necessarily integrated a multi-institutional, multi-language set of tools for deployment to the nuclear industry. At the heart of this effort was the software infrastructure team who was charged with integrating these capabilities, ensuring all of the components work together, and packaging up VERA for release using an agile development process. This panel will discuss the various capabilities that have been developed over CASL to support this mission along with the impacts of having this infrastructure on the development teams, university researchers, and industry collaborators
