ANS announces 2025 Presidential Citations
One of the privileges of being president of the American Nuclear Society is awarding Presidential Citations to individuals who have demonstrated outstanding effort in some manner for the benefit of ANS or the nuclear community at large. Citations are conferred twice each year, at the Annual and Winter Meetings.
ANS President Lisa Marshall has named this season’s recipients, who will receive recognition at the upcoming Annual Conference in Chicago during the Special Session on Tuesday, June 17.

The H2 concentration was measured in the ventilated air of actual high-level liquid waste tanks of the Tokai reprocessing plant. It was compared with the value calculated from the parameters that were obtained using the simulated solution. Both values agreed satisfactorily within the limits of uncertainties of the parameters. This agreement showed that the catalytic H2 consumption reaction caused by Pd ions, which was found previously using the simulated solution, proceeds also in the actual solution. The measured “G(H2)” for the actual solution and the derived one using the parameters from the simulated solution were between 7×10−6 and 3×10−5.
