Future www.iync.org International Youth Nuclear Congress Youth Future Nuclear Editorial Dear IYNC community, It’s my pleasure to present to you this year’s first IYNC bulletin. New horizons are opening for IYNC and the nuclear community in general. After our last two congresses on the African and American continents and the next one which will be on the European continent, it’s time for IYNC to expand its network East. Besides historical participants such as Japan and South Korea, IYNC is now being contacted by more and more Asian countries. I had the chance to give a speech about the importance of knowledge transfer and the IYNC at this year’s WANO general meeting in Moscow. I met young nuclear professionals from countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or China who wanted to get involved in IYNC. The Indian Nuclear Society is showing interest in building a Young Generation Network. I observed on Twitter that Indonesia is organizing its Nuclear Youth Summit with a lot of participants. The population in those developing countries keeps growing, requesting an always higher demand in energy. Some of those countries have taken the decision to intensively invest in the building of new nuclear power plants. As you will read in the interview of François Harari, the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) could be the nuclear reactors of the future. This type of reactors would open new markets for the nuclear industry in several nations in the Middle East and North Africa. Countries such as Morocco, Egypt or Vietnam are possible customers interested in SMR. Africa is also paying attention to the nuclear technology. Pamella Kageliza reports that Kenya has a need for sustainable sources of energy to become a newly-industrialized, middle income country by the year 2030. The Kenyan Ministry of Energy has drafted a national energy policy and energy bill which recognizes nuclear energy as a potential source of energy. Dr. Ralf Güldner explains in his interview that some of the European countries have taken the opposite decision. They are going to phase out. The future of our industry could depend on the success of the German Energiewende which will be a good test to see if the world can sustain without nuclear energy. This international expansion is a good sign. Our industry is getting more global and it’s becoming usual to work on the same team with a South African, a French, a Russian and an American for example. François Harari also highlights the fact that New Build activities will offer to the young generation a real exciting international environment. Building a strong relationship with our colleagues from different countries and companies at an early stage in our career will help to internationally cooperate for the rest of our career. Finally, the IYNC team is busy organizing next congress in Burgos, Spain on July 6-12. We are building a group of about 50 people from all around the globe. Working in such an international environment is fascinating. Whichever horizon, country or company you’re coming from, let’s not forget that we are all one nuclear family. Sincerely Yours, Nicolas Anciaux, IYNC President IYNC Bulletin 1 Section 1: Editorial International Youth Nuclear Congress Youth Future Nuclear Interviews Officers introduction President: Nicolas Anciaux. "Nicolas Anciaux is 31 years old a Senior Engineer at Westinghouse Electric Belgium. He received a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Université Catholique de Louvain (2006) focusing on energy and finite elements analysis. Nicolas has worked for two years at LMS-Siemens as Structural Analyst before starting working in February 2009 at Westinghouse Electric Belgium. Nicolas leads engineering projects on European power plants and the AP1000 design. Nicolas was responsible for the communications of the Belgian Nuclear Society Young Generation for two years where he helped the belgian nuclear industry to be more transparent. Nicolas has been elected President of the International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC) in August 2012 for a 2 years term with the program to develop IYNC’s communication through social media, expand the IYNC network to Asia, collaborate with other international nuclear associations and organize the best IYNC ever in Spain in 2014. Nicolas believes that Young Generation Networks and IYNC in particular provide the best environment to build a strong network, learn about the different aspects of the nuclear sector and form the future international leaders of our great industry.." Vice President, Melissa Crawford Melissa Crawford has been working in the nuclear industry since her time as a student. Notably with summer internships at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the U.S.A in 2005 and 2006. This work was focused on non-destructive identification of the mass and enrichment of Plutonium isotopes in oxide samples. This was performed as a joint project between ORNL and the Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy. Also during this time Melissa focused her studies on Monte Carlo simulations and neutron transport theory. After finishing the Nuclear Engineering program at the University of Florida, Melissa started working on Instrumentation and Control projects with Siemens in the power industry. Both analog to digital modernization projects in existing plants and digital design for new build nuclear power plants. For the past year Melissa has been on delegation at the Siemens Energy headquarters in Erlangen, Germany working with the global power market in product management. Melissa has always had an active interest in international collaboration. When she received IYNC’s call for Finance Chair and US Representative from the American Nuclear Society, she knew she wanted to help out. IYNC2012 took place in Charlotte USA and was hosted by the North American Young Generation in Nuclear. This was the largest congress held to date, and now Melissa is happy to take on more responsibilities working with the IYNC network officers in her term as Vice President. IYNC Bulletin 2 Section 2: Interviews International Youth Nuclear Congress Youth Future Nuclear Treasurer:. Dan O’Connor.

    The ANS Globe …E-News from the ANS International Committee from the Editors the ANS Globe Is the Bulletin of the American Nuclear Society’S International Committee

    October 2004 The ANS Globe …e-news from the ANS International Committee From the editors The ANS Globe is the Bulletin of the American Nuclear Society’s International Committee. After a lapse of a few years, The Globe has re-emerged, and this is the 2nd issue this year. We continue to hope that The Globe will be a useful and successful means of disseminating news of interest to International Committee members and to others. Please send us letters, articles, and/or comments for consideration towards the next issue. Ben Rouben Mauro L. Bonardi [email protected] [email protected] From the Chair Dear friends, The current rise of oil prices comes as a timely reminder of the need for the industrialized countries to strengthen their efforts to develop balanced energy strategies based on diversified sustainable fuel sources. The US, for its part, has begun to implement its National Energy Policy, and, internationally, the G8 summit last year has paved the way to an Action Plan, accelerating the research, development and diffusion of energy technologies. Clearly, international partnership towards such broad aims also includes the deployment of sustainable advanced nuclear systems. The US AFCI and GIF show the way ahead. The ANS International Committee obviously has a substantial contribution to make to meet these overall objectives, and we must spare no effort in this respect. To better involve the ANS international membership and keep us updated on global trends, I am inviting foreign speakers at our Committee Meetings, thus launching an International Mini-Forum (mentioned hereafter). In this issue as well, a new heading on Sister Societies includes news sent by our members from other nuclear societies willing to strengthen their links with the ANS.
