Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by DESD|Cosponsored by OPD

Session Chair:
Gail Marcus (Consultant)
Alternate Chair:
James J. Byrne (Byrne & Associates, LLC)
Session Organizer:
This Future of Nuclear Maritime Propulsion panel is the final in a series of sessions sponsored by DESD and OPD. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, we looked at the history of non-naval nuclear power. At the 2021 Winter Meeting, we discussed the decommissioning of the NS Savannah, including a virtual tour of the ship. At this meeting we will look at the potential future of non-naval nuclear propulsion and floating offshore nuclear power generation and its opportunities and challenges. Recent Department of Energy grants have spurred interest in this subject. These grants and other opportunities will also be discussed during this session.
