Seven honored Fellows forecast future of nuclear

The American Nuclear Society (ANS) honored seven of its members for their pioneering contributions to the field of nuclear science and technology during the Society's annual meeting in San Diego, CA. The prestigious ANS Fellow designation acknowledges the extraordinary leadership of nuclear professionals in diverse disciplines relating to research, invention, engineering, safety, technical leadership, and teaching.

The most recently named ANS Fellows are:

Tunc Aldemir of Ohio State University for developing a methodology for system reliability and safety assessment. He has widely published in this area, and organized and chaired sessions in international technical meetings.

Ren-Tai Chiang, Principal Engineer at General Electric, for creation of a software package used for computing neutron and gamma fluences and for contributions to advanced Breeder and Mixed-oxide type nuclear reactors.

Masao Hori of the Nuclear Hydrogen Society for his life-long studies on nuclear energy for long-term global supply and his work on the Japanese Fast Breeder Reactor.

Alan E. Levin of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for his contributions to the process of licensing and certifying advanced reactor designs.

Glenn E. Lucas, Acting Executive Vice Chancellor at the University of California Santa Barbara, for the development and application of novel techniques to understand the changes in irradiated metals and alloys for both fission and fusion reactor applications.

Joseph A. Naser, of the Electric Power Research Institute, for his extraordinary national and international leadership in improved performance and reliability of nuclear power plants.

Anil K. Prinja, Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Chemical and Nuclear Engineering, for his theoretical work regarding our mathematical and physical understanding of how neutral and charged particles interact with matter.
