Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Four million nuclear jobs by 2050: Who will do them?
Industry leaders from around the globe met this month to discuss the talent development that will be necessary for the long-term success of the nuclear industry.
The International Conference on Nuclear Knowledge Management and Human Resources Development, hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency, was held in Vienna earlier this month. Discussed there was the agency’s forecast for nuclear capacity to more than double—or hopefully triple—by 2050 and the requirement of more than four million professionals to support the industry.

The creep properties of three heats of nuclear-grade Type 316 stainless steel have been studied at temperatures of 823, 873, and 923 K. Creep tests have been carried out over a wide range of stresses that produced rupture times varying from a few days to ∼10yr. Log-log plots of stress versus rupture life were linear at 823 K, while a rapid decrease in stress to rupture was observed at longer lives at 923 K. A power law relationship indicative of dislocation creep was found between steady-state creep rate and applied stress. The variation of rupture ductility with rupture life at 823 K exhibited a minimum. At other temperatures, a peak in ductility was observed. Pronounced heat-to-heat variations have been observed in the creep-rupture properties at all the test conditions. The variations have been attributed to differences in the chemical composition and in the grain size of the material. A comparison of the results with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers design criteria for time-dependent deformation is also presented.
