Strong performances across the board
Craig Piercycpiercy@ans.org
Another year, another stellar performance by America’s nuclear plants. We’ve come to expect high capacity factors, and it’s a credit to the men and women of the profession. They’ve made routine something that was unimaginable not so long ago.
The decadal challenge for the nuclear enterprise now is to maintain this high level of operational excellence for the current fleet, while at the same time ushering in a new generation of technologies at scale. It will be a big job—but one that seems more and more likely with each passing day.

Raymond J. Juzaitis, author of the latest ANS book Redemption of Prometheus: Creating a Sustainable Nuclear Enterprise for the 21st Century, will be at the ANS booth for a book signing from 12 to 1 pm on Monday, November 13. Juzaitis’ book is a comprehensive narrative of the development of both civilian and military aspects of the nuclear enterprise. Juzaitis analyzes the sustainability of the US nuclear enterprise in the face of global climate change and the risk of nuclear conflict. Proposed initiatives include integrated and optimized nuclear systems, used fuel recycling, international nuclear fuel banks, and steps toward a world free of nuclear weapons.
