Optimizing Maintenance Strategies in Power Generation: Embracing Predictive and Preventive Approaches
On Wednesday, June 6, Dr. Mark T. Peters appeared on behalf of the American Nuclear Society before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific. Peters is the Deputy Laboratory Director for Programs at Argonne National Laboratory and testified at the invitation of the subcommittee.
Eric Loewen, president of the American Nuclear Society, kept up his rapid pace last week as he visited the ANS local section in Aiken, S.C., on February 15, and the one in Charlotte, N.C., on February 16. Loewen, as the featured speaker at the meetings of the two sections, presented his personal talk titled "Plutonium: Promise or Peril".
From high in orbit above planet Earth... to the dusty surface of the moon... to the stunning cloud tops and moons of Jupiter... to the dazzling rings of Saturn... even to the darkness at the edge of interstellar space-nuclear technology has made possible incredible journeys to extraordinary destinations in our Solar System, and opened doors to some of the most profound discoveries of all time. Yet, the future of nuclear technology for space exploration promises even more remarkable journeys and more amazing discoveries.
The Saxton Library will accept the American Nuclear Society (ANS) Nuclear Historic Landmark Award in appreciation and recognition of the community's participation during the decommissioning process of the region's notable research reactor.
Commissioner Jeffery S. Merrifeld of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Gary R. Leidich, President of First Energy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC), will join the ANS Executive Director, Harry Bradley, to present the award in a ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on November 8, 2005. The Library plans to display the award plaque in a permanent exhibit.
