Division Spotlight
Aerospace Nuclear Science & Technology
Organized to promote the advancement of knowledge in the use of nuclear science and technologies in the aerospace application. Specialized nuclear-based technologies and applications are needed to advance the state-of-the-art in aerospace design, engineering and operations to explore planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, plus enhance the safety of air travel, especially high speed air travel. Areas of interest will include but are not limited to the creation of nuclear-based power and propulsion systems, multifunctional materials to protect humans and electronic components from atmospheric, space, and nuclear power system radiation, human factor strategies for the safety and reliable operation of nuclear power and propulsion plants by non-specialized personnel and more.

INL’s new innovation incubator could link start-ups with an industry sponsor
Idaho National Laboratory is looking for a sponsor to invest $5 million–$10 million in a privately funded innovation incubator to support seed-stage start-ups working in nuclear energy, integrated energy systems, cybersecurity, or advanced materials. For their investment, the sponsor gets access to what INL calls “a turnkey source of cutting-edge American innovation.” Not only are technologies supported by the program “substantially de-risked” by going through technical review and development at a national laboratory, but the arrangement “adds credibility, goodwill, and visibility to the private sector sponsor’s investments,” according to INL.

Kelsey Amundson (Los Alamos National Lab)
Let’s face it: Being asked to lead a team can bring up nightmares of unproductive meetings and unpleasant confrontations. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We know amazing results can be achieved when individuals collaborate to solve problems.
In this workshop, we will work with several powerful tools to provide concrete action in different situations to build and lead a high performing team. We will address specific team scenarios centered around trust and effective communication. How can we build trust or re-build trust once it is broken? How should we work with others who are causing conflict within the team? What can we do when the team is struggling and we aren’t sure what to do?
You will leave with additional tools for your Leadership Toolkit that are focused on building trust and communicating effectively with yourself and others.
