Alyse Huffman is at work in the office of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology as the 2019 ANS Glenn T. Seaborg Congressional Fellow. ANS News checked in with Huffman in late February, during her seventh week on the job.
Since we published the report on the completion of the dismantling of the STURGIS yesterday, this video seems appropriate. Today, we have a 23 minute film produced by Martin-Marietta (the nuclear contractor for the project) on the completion of the STURGIS project. This is one of the most fascinating historic nuclear films you'll see - so don't miss it!
Our latest ANS Nuclear Cafe Matinee film is the latest video update by Southern Company on the progress of the Vogtle nuclear plant expansion. This video runs just over seven minutes and brings you the details of the construction as of the last quarter of 2018. Enjoy!
RadioNuclear host Doug Hardtmayer interviews ANS member Dr. Christopher Morrison, an Astro-Nuclear Engineer with Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation. Dr. Morrison shares his story as well as some fascinating insights into how nuclear could shape the future of nuclear in space!
ANS member Dr. Christopher Morrison was a recent guest on The Space Show. Dr. Morrison covered space radiation, lifetime radiation limitations, legal limits, rodent GCR and radiation experimentation, terrestrial radiation simulations, space nuclear power & propulsion, super-cooling conductivity.
This week's matinee is a half hour long feature presentation entitled "Pioneering with Power," and is the story of the construction of one of America's earliest commercial nuclear power stations. Remarkable views, unobtainable virtually anywhere else, are given of the entire process of the layout and construction of this historic power station.

Did you know that nuclear technology has been used in space almost since the beginning of human exploration in space? That's right - nuclear energy has been used to power science experiments, satellites, and space probes. It may even be used someday to propel vessels with people on board to other planets. Let's take a look at three basic kinds of nuclear space technology!
Our latest Friday Matinee video is a fascinating time-lapse produced by Georgia Power to show the entire process of installing one of the two steam generators at its Plant Vogtle expansion.
Last week, the American Nuclear Society announced its new K-12 STEM education initiative Navigating Nuclear - Energizing Our World.

This week's ANS Nuclear Cafe Friday Matinee is an excellent, professional and very modern video tour of the renowned MIT reactor facility. This entertaining video was produced in an extremely up-to-date style sure to take you in - so don't start watching it unless you have about 18 minutes to sit back and enjoy it.

ANS President Bob Coward
If you walked around the palatial Philadelphia venue of the 2018 American Nuclear Society Annual Meeting and bumped into outgoing ANS President Bob Coward or, for that matter, attended one of a number of sessions there, you might have heard him quote exactly, to the hour, how much time he had left as the ANS President. Not that he was eager to leave - in fact, it seemed as if Coward was marking how much time he had left to continue to make an impact.

Watch ANS Social Media Team member Douglas E. Hardtmayer talk about his hopes for the future of nuclear.
ANS member and Social Media Team member Douglas E. Hardtmayer is a nuclear engineer and host of the RadioNuclear podcast. Watch his TEDx talk as he discusses his hopes to change some of the most common misconceptions about nuclear energy and technology, and makes the case for it being a vital key in sustaining the future prosperity of mankind. Currently, Hardtmayer is a grad student studying nuclear engineering at The Ohio State University.
