Panel shares tips to empower women to succeed in the nuclear field
Six women who shared personal stories and tactics to help others succeed in their careers in the nuclear field hope they have ignited a conversation that will continue far beyond a single webinar.
“Empowering Women to Succeed” was hosted by the American Nuclear Society on September 22, presented by a group of four nuclear organizations—ANS, North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN), U.S. Women in Nuclear (U.S. WIN), and the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)—which have pledged to work together as #AtomicAllies.
Moderated by Rosemary Yeremian, vice president of corporate strategy for X-energy Canada, who recently published a book titled Step Up: The Key to Succeeding in Male-Dominated Businesses, the panel included five other established and emerging nuclear leaders who spoke about their own experiences in the nuclear workforce and the importance of reflection and self-determination.
Yeremian was introduced by Timothy Crook, incoming chair of the ANS Operations and Power Division, who also coordinated the Q&A session that wrapped up the webinar. If you missed it you can watch the recording now, and be sure to check out this Young Members Group Twitter thread.

Description
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first controlled nuclear chain reaction, this book discusses in clearly written language the events that led up to that historical event, the scientific basis for nuclear energy and its various peaceful applications (power, industrial uses, medicine), the development of nuclear power worldwide, and the future of nuclear energy. This is the book that was distributed at the 1992 ANS Meeting in Chicago. It's a must for anyone who wants to know the history, the people, and the science behind nuclear energy.
