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 recent advances in digital technologies have brought about new opportunities for innovations in robotics and remote systems. In particular, robotics is transforming by way of using digital twin techniques with integration of a multitude of emerging digital technologies such as advanced sensors, telerobotics, modeling and simulation, virtual-/augmented-reality, and human-robot interface under networked environment and big data. Digital transformation of robotics has also democratized the development of robotic applications at a rapid pace. The objective of this panel session is to bring together the opinion leaders in broad sectors of the nuclear industry to identify the potential R&D direction to meet the industry's emerging needs.
