Empowering the next generation: ANS’s newest book focuses on careers in nuclear energy
A new career guide for the nuclear energy industry is now available: The Nuclear Empowered Workforce by Earnestine Johnson. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across 16 nuclear facilities, Johnson offers a practical, insightful look into some of the many career paths available in commercial nuclear power. To mark the release, Johnson sat down with Nuclear News for a wide-ranging conversation about her career, her motivation for writing the book, and her advice for the next generation of nuclear professionals.
When Johnson began her career at engineering services company Stone & Webster, she entered a field still reeling from the effects of the Three Mile Island incident in 1979, nearly 15 years earlier. Her hiring cohort was the first group of new engineering graduates the company had brought on since TMI, a reflection of the industry-wide pause in nuclear construction. Her first long-term assignment—at the Millstone site in Waterford, Conn., helping resolve design issues stemming from TMI—marked the beginning of a long and varied career that spanned positions across the country.

Rustler’s Rooste was established in 1971. The legend goes that the original site, atop a butte in the foothills of South Mountain, was a hideout for cattle rustlers. Today, it is Arizona’s Legendary Cowboy Steakhouse. It is located 15 minutes from downtown Phoenix and Tempe, 20 minutes from Scottsdale, and 10 minutes from the airport.
Rustler’s Rooste serves the finest steaks, ribs, chicken, and the freshest seafood. Appetizers are different and delicious. (Yup, we’ve got rattlesnake). Our desserts will tempt you. We have above standard liquors and wines, and, of course, a variety of your favorite beers. Ask about our Cowboy Stuff -- dinner served family-style that includes shrimp, BBQ chicken, beans, swordfish, baked potatoes, seasonal fruit, pork ribs, corn-on-the-cob, sirloin steak strips, fresh raw vegetables, and rolls with butter and honey. Better come hungry.
Rustler’s Rooste has live country-western music every night from 5 to 9 PM.
Our General Store (for those cool collectibles) is open nightly from 5 - 9 PM. The spectacular view and friendly atmosphere is also free.
