Empowering the next generation: ANS’s newest book focuses on careers in nuclear energy
A new career guide for the nuclear energy industry is now available: The Nuclear Empowered Workforce by Earnestine Johnson. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience across 16 nuclear facilities, Johnson offers a practical, insightful look into some of the many career paths available in commercial nuclear power. To mark the release, Johnson sat down with Nuclear News for a wide-ranging conversation about her career, her motivation for writing the book, and her advice for the next generation of nuclear professionals.
When Johnson began her career at engineering services company Stone & Webster, she entered a field still reeling from the effects of the Three Mile Island incident in 1979, nearly 15 years earlier. Her hiring cohort was the first group of new engineering graduates the company had brought on since TMI, a reflection of the industry-wide pause in nuclear construction. Her first long-term assignment—at the Millstone site in Waterford, Conn., helping resolve design issues stemming from TMI—marked the beginning of a long and varied career that spanned positions across the country.
For a limited time, enjoy a lowered paywall and open access to the 52nd Annual Buyers Guide. This recently published worldwide nuclear directory lists more than 600 companies who supply or provide at least one of the 475 products or services being utilized throughout the nuclear field. Published as a special 13th issue of Nuclear News magazine, in addition to being delivered to the entire American Nuclear Society membership, a print copy is delivered to the Procurement Director/Supply Chain Manager at every nuclear utility plant site in the United States.
If your company is performing or seeking work within the nuclear industry, please make sure you appear within this directory—as there is no charge to be listed. After reviewing the Directory of Suppliers Section (pages 123-152, sorted by country), if your company is not listed—we invite you to join our vendor database and Create a new Company Listing for 2022 today!
Looking beyond the Buyers Guide, Nuclear News is published monthly. Each issue includes feature stories on areas of particular importance to the worldwide nuclear community. Upcoming issue themes include: Instrumentation & Controls, Health Physics and Isotopes & Radiation, Vendor/Contractor Profile Issue, Probabilistic Risk Assessment, Plant Maintenance & Outage Management, Decommissioning & Decontamination, Game-Changing Leaps. If any of these topics align with your area of expertise, we invite you to Submit a Feature Article about your new innovations or technologies, or how a recent project improved an efficiency, reduced expense, or solved an existing problem.
