Division Spotlight
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 supplier of a product has a better handle on the costs associated with supplying their products than do the consumers of that product. And yet industry cost saving initiatives nearly always stem from the utilities and often with no supplier input. Suppliers want to maximize profits, but also need the utilities to remain healthy and competitive. The solution to this is better two-way communication between utilities and suppliers. One aspect of this includes initiatives launched by INPO and EPRI that often do not reach the majority of the supplier community because of membership rules.
This session will explore how industry initiatives can be better communicated to the supplier community, better communication in general between utilities and suppliers, and the possible formation of a formal Nuclear Supply Chain group to facilitate better communication. This potential new group might be a separate organization or an adjunct to the existing NSCSL organization and support INPO IER 21-4 initiatives.
