Happy Thanksgiving! The topic for the American Nuclear Society's Special Award in 2011 is "Innovations in Small Modular Reactors."
What does it mean to be a nuclear engineer? That question is not as
The international nuclear community designated the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's (AECL) Zero Energy Deuterium 2 (ZED-2) research reactor a nuclear historical landmark, presented by the American Nuclear Society. The award, given on November 2 during a technical conference in Ottawa, honored the reactor for its 50 years of operation and for its outstanding contributions to the global nuclear industry.

On November 15, Audeen Fentiman testified before the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future (BRC). The BRC was established by U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu in January 2010 to provide recommendations for developing a safe, long-term solution to managing the nation's used nuclear fuel and nuclear waste. The BRC will provide advice and make recommendations on issues including alternatives for the storage, processing, and disposal of civilian and defense spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste.
Three members of the American Nuclear Society were named ANS Fellows during last week's ANS Winter Conference and Technology Expo, as announced on November 16 by John (Jack) M. Tuohy, Jr., P.E., ANS executive director. These awards were presented in recognition of the Fellows' significant contributions and achievements to nuclear science and technology.
The American Nuclear Society's Winter Meeting, titled "Nuclear Progress!" attracted more than 2000 registrants, a record for the Society, which was established in 1954. The Winter Meeting, held November 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nev., was the premier event for the nuclear science and technology community and focused on the latest developments in nuclear science and engineering.

As a record number of nuclear leaders meet during the American Nuclear Society's 2010 Winter Conference in Las Vegas (of all places), the men and women of the U.S. nuclear community are all asking a version of the same question: What now? Clearly, the election results of November 2 will impact U.S. nuclear policy for the next two years, and probably reverberate much longer than that.

Gail Marcus will be signing copies of her new book, Nuclear Firsts: Milestones on the Road to Nuclear Power Development, at the ANS Winter Meeting in Las Vegas at the Riviera Hotel. The schedule for the signings is:
As we gather to discuss innovations and the next steps forward in nuclear development, I am taking advantage of our new ANS blog site to talk about some communications initiatives undertaken by the Society. As nuclear professionals, we have an obligation to share our technical understanding and scientific perspective with policymakers, educators, students, and the public-and we also need to be sure that we are communicating effectively with each other so that we can speak to today's energy issues with a unified voice.
