      Young Members Group

      Young Members Group

      The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

      The legacy of Experimental Breeder Reactor-I

      At 1:23 p.m. load dissipaters from the generator were connected—electricity flows from atomic energy.” These were the words Walter Zinn wrote in the log after the first four light bulbs were illuminated by nuclear energy. The year was 1951, and the EBR-­I was about to show the world what nuclear energy had to offer.

Description

A group of 32 experts from 12 countries convened in 1990 to discuss electricity supply and demand. A major concern was the effect of electricity shortages. Their discussions, arguments, and conclusions are reported in this volume. Topics include energy conservation, electricity in developing countries, the importance of integrated planning, and the need for energy research and development.
