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 21st century engineer needs to be collaborative, communicative, and multi-disciplinary. Often, the success of your company depends on it. However, we are often ill-equipped in team settings. This panel seeks to share the experiences of team leaders and engineers who have survived collaborative technical projects. Leaders will share their tips on creating an engaging and transparent environment while engineers will describe steps they have taken to contribute to the success of their teams. Topics include changing course mid-project, avoiding burnout, communication strategies, documentation best practices, and how to quit in the middle of a project.
