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.

The ANS Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy Division invites you to a special members-only discussion on how the widespread adoption of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation norms will impact the future of advanced reactors.
The U.S. influence on nonproliferation is minimal unless the United States is building and exporting nuclear technology. Centrus, with support from the U.S. Government, will ensure that there is an adequate, domestically produced enriched nuclear fuel available on a scale that is able to support exports of both U.S. nuclear fuel and U.S. nuclear technology. U.S. nuclear energy independence is a prerequisite for the ability to export nuclear fuel and nuclear technology sustainably. Exports are one of the best means to influence other nations to conform with U.S. nonproliferation norms. Widespread adoption of U.S. nuclear nonproliferation norms is more critical than ever since advanced reactors often require more highly enriched fuels which require enhanced protection standards.
PresenterBenjamin Jordan, Manager, Business Development, Centrus
Benjamin is the Business Development Manager for Centrus Technical Solutions. He has over 20 years of experience with manufacturing, engineering, operations management, research and design, and entrepreneurship. He earned a Master of Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Tennessee. Additionally, with the full support of Centrus, Benjamin completed a PhD in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 2022. He has obtained certification as a Project Management Professional and is a Derivative Classifier of Centrifuge information.
