ANS/ENS Winter Meeting and Young Professional’s Congress

ByRod Adams

There will be no Atomic Show Podcast this week. I am making preparations to cover the 2007 American Nuclear Society (ANS)/European Nuclear Society (ENS) Winter meeting and the associated Young Professional’s Congress.

The Young Professional’s Congress is a joint effort between North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NA-YGN) and the American Nuclear Society’s Young Member Group.

The meetings are taking place in Washington at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. One thing you can say about ANS Meetings is that they are never held in low cost areas or in cheap hotels. I will be commuting each day from Annapolis. I am not poor, just cheap.

I hope that any Atomic Show listeners that might be there will try to find me and say hello. I will be the guy with the iPod nano recording sessions and looking for interesting comments from people on the meeting topic “Making the Renaissance Real”.
