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.

We, the American Nuclear Society, the Editor and Publisher of Nuclear Technology, have retracted the following article: Yuki Sato & Tatsuo Torii: Visualization and Integration of Images of Radioactive Substances as Point Cloud Data in 3-D Environment Models. Nuclear Technology, 2020, DOI: 10.1080/00295450.2020.1722555The authors have requested the retraction of their article due to an identified defect in the Compton camera software, which resulted in an incorrect output value for the interaction position of the gamma rays in the sensor of the camera. It is expected that the experimental results may not change significantly with the bug correction; however, many figures would need to be replaced. The authors may seek a separate publication of an updated manuscript in the future.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.
The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as „Retracted„.
