It is with great honor that we announce the fourth consecutive year of the U.S. Women in Nuclear NEXT UP program, an extension of our Nuclear Executives of Tomorrow initiative. The NEXT UP program is inclusive of both women and men, expanding the reach and impact of this program.
The nuclear industry is a reflection of our diverse membership – women and men whose passion and mission drive innovation, construction, and operations. It is time to reform, retool, and repurpose this program to better align with the professional and social environment in which we now operate.
Nominations are open April 27 – May 22.
