Energy needs generate new opportunities for nuclear
"The nuclear profession has a brighter future today than it has had at anytime over the last 20 years," stated Larry Papay, General Chair of the event. "As a profession, it is unified in its goal to achieve sustainable development goals and this is apparent at these meetings where we look to work on solutions together."
At 8:30 a.m., Monday's Opening Plenary, "The Next 50 Years: Creating Opportunities," will feature welcoming remarks from Papay and ANS President James Tulenko.
