Westinghouse Electric Company announced last week that NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have awarded the company a contract to continue developing a lunar microreactor concept for the Fission Surface Power (FSP) project. According to Westinghouse, the new contract—awarded by Idaho National Laboratory, which is managing FSP for NASA—will build on design work Westinghouse completed during Phase 1 and include optimizing the design and beginning testing of critical technology elements. “The continued progress under the FSP project can enable NASA’s goal of a lunar demonstration within the next decade,” the company said in a statement. https://lnkd.in/gac3ZwcZ

The Diversity and Inclusion in ANS (DIA) Committee hosted a social event at the 2024 Winter Conference & Expo in November that brought dozens of attendees together for an engaging—and educational—twist on the game show Family Feud. Ahead of the winter meeting, committee members surveyed ANS members on questions about emotional intelligence in the nuclear industry and turned those results into questions for the event. It was a fun, clever way to remind employees in the nuclear industry to understand and prioritize emotional intelligence during their busy careers. Read the full story at https://lnkd.in/gF_3eeUd
Survey says . . . Emotional intelligence important in nuclear industry

The media have gleefully resurrected the language of a past nuclear renaissance. Beyond the hype and PR, many people in the nuclear community are taking a more measured view of conditions that could lead to new construction: data center demand, the proliferation of new reactor designs and start-ups, and the sudden ascendance of nuclear energy as the power source everyone wants—or wants to talk about. Once built, large nuclear reactors can provide clean power for at least 80 years—outlasting 10 to 20 presidential administrations. Smaller reactors can provide heat and power outputs tailored to an end user’s needs. With all the new attention, are we any closer to getting past persistent supply chain and workforce issues and building these new plants? And what will the election of Donald Trump to a second term as president mean for nuclear? Subscribers can read the full Nuclear News story at https://lnkd.in/e8v7U8g4
