ANS continues to expand its certificate offerings
It’s almost been a full year since the American Nuclear Society held its inaugural section of Nuclear 101, a comprehensive certificate course on the basics of the nuclear field. Offered at the 2024 ANS Winter Conference and Expo, that first sold-out course marked a massive milestone in the Society’s expanding work in professional development and certification.
International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management 2022 Speaker
BS, Masters, and PhD in Nuclear Engineering, North Carolina State University
Presently working on the backend of the nuclear fuel cycle with focus on advanced reactor used/spent fuel treatment activities including: recycling/reprocessing of used nuclear fuel (UNF), conditioning of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) for alignment with disposal waste criteria, and the licensing and safety analyses needed to support the backend of the fuel cycle for these advanced reactors (e.g., spent fuel post-reactor processing facilities, spent fuel post-reactor handling facilities, spent fuel pools, spent fuel storage installations, spent fuel dry storage systems, spent fuel transportation systems, etc.). In addition, continue to advance recycling activities through work on industrial and medical isotope recovery from UNF, optimization of existing processes (e.g., use of voloxidation, advanced gas treatment processes), separation of long-lived and repository burdensome isotopes for transmutation, and the continued pursuit of regulatory clarity for reprocessing in the U.S.
