ANS Fireside Chat introduces new leaders for ANS, UCOR
On Tuesday, during Mark Peters’s last days as the American Nuclear Society’s vice president/president-elect before assuming the presidency on June 4, he sat down with ANS CEO Craig Piercy for a Fireside Chat at the Annual Conference.
The MITRE CEO weighed in on his career path, what excites and worries him about the resurgence of nuclear energy, and juggling work-life balance with his new duties as ANS’s 72nd president.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s an important year,” he told Piercy.

ECRH antenna system for central cell of GAMMA 10 was newly installed. This system was designed to improve the calculated Poynting flux reaching the resonance surface and the beam path. The power transmission efficiency has been improved from about 60 to 70 % and the beam passes the center of the resonance surface. Performance test of this system was carried out with low power and we got the performance that we expected. This system was installed to GAMMA 10 and the initial electron heating result with it has been obtained.
