The theme of the 2024 ANS Student Conference is “Keystone of Tomorrow.” Given the aggressive carbon reduction goals set by our governments and companies in the last five years, nuclear energy has the opportunity to serve as a central technology to enable this clean-energy vision. The keystone is the central supporting stone in an archway; without the keystone the structure will fall. Without nuclear, we believe achieving net-zero goals is not feasible. Policymakers and citizens around the world increasingly view nuclear energy as a fundamental technology that will battle climate change while maintaining high standards of living through reliable access to energy. As our society demands more of our industry, we will need many young scientists and engineers who are skilled and impassioned; enter the ANS Student Conference.
