ANS Fireside Chat introduces new leaders for ANS, UCOR
On Tuesday, during Mark Peters’s last days as the American Nuclear Society’s vice president/president-elect before assuming the presidency on June 4, he sat down with ANS CEO Craig Piercy for a Fireside Chat at the Annual Conference.
The MITRE CEO weighed in on his career path, what excites and worries him about the resurgence of nuclear energy, and juggling work-life balance with his new duties as ANS’s 72nd president.
“It’s going to be a lot of fun. It’s an important year,” he told Piercy.

A method to test the adequacy of an angular mesh in describing the angular transfer of highly anisotropic elastic scattering (for both neutron or gamma rays) in plane geometry with azimuthal symmetry is presented. Transfer from the straight forward and backward polar directions are found to impose the greatest limitations for an angular mesh.
