Loewen lays out his vision of the roles of the office of ANS president, the ANS Special Committee on Fukushima, and the challenges and opportunities presented by the particular timing of his tenure in the wake of the Fukushima events and new nuclear power construction in the United States. Finally, Loewen discusses some of the key messages the Society and its president should communicate to policy makers, educators, and the public.
