NEI chief executive highlights “unlimited potential” for nuclear in state of the industry address
Korsnick
In the Nuclear Energy Institute’s annual State of the Nuclear Energy Industry report, NEI president and CEO and Maria Korsnick expressed optimism about the nuclear industry and she issued a call to action.
Her address was part of NEI’s Nuclear Energy Policy forum. The forum, being held in Washington, D.C., on May 20 and May 21, brings together industry leaders, policy stakeholders, and clean energy experts to discuss nuclear advocacy. Korsnick’s remarks focused on the private capital flowing into the industry, progress on regulatory reform and new nuclear technology, and how the U.S. is trying to take the lead on the global nuclear stage.
“We are here at an unprecedented time in our industry history,” Korsnick said. “I’m proud to say that the nuclear industry has a future of unlimited potential.”
The John R. LaMarsh Memorial Scholarship was established in December 1981 for undergraduate students studying in the discipline of nuclear science and technology.
John R. Lamarsh was a notable and highly respected member of the academic community in nuclear engineering. The scholarship was named for John because of his influence on nuclear engineering education.
John Lamarsh was a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cornell University and was the recipient of the Arthur Holly Compton Award in Education in 1980. He was an individual who dedicated his life to enhancing the field of nuclear engineering education. John was the department chair of nuclear engineering at New York University. He wrote numerous texts that were widely used in the academic world, including “Nuclear Reactor Theory” (1966), and “Introduction to Nuclear Engineering” (1975).
