Supporting ANS now, for the future

From kindergarten classrooms to national security facilities, each event I attended during the opening weeks of the new year underscored one truth: The future of nuclear energy depends on the people we inspire, educate, and empower today.
I had a busy start to 2026, first speaking at the Nashville Energy and Mining Summit alongside Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association senior vice president Justin Maierhofer to explore the necessary synergies among policy, academic coursework, research, and industry expertise in accelerating American nuclear innovation. Drawing on experiences in high-level government relations and public affairs and decades of work in nuclear instrumentation advancements, we discussed Tennessee’s nuclear renaissance, workforce development, and policy frameworks that support emerging energy demands.

Experience with bioassay for tritium has been obtained during a 2-yr period. Occupationally exposed persons involved in this surveillance represent three types of exposure approximately described by International Commission on Radiological Protection models for continuous, recurrent, and single intake. The results show that, under special conditions—for instance, at a research reactor or in laboratories where tritium sources with known release rates are used—urinalysis with less frequency is sufficient. For single or recurrent intake encountered in the production of labeled compounds or during maintenance work in nuclear power plant installations, it has been confirmed that monthly urine sampling normally provides enough protection to the workers.
