Newsletter Overview

Happy Fall to all the members of HFICD! Fall is always a busy time in the nuclear world, as many plants are in the process of refueling outages, the semester is finishing up for many of our student members, and the ANS Winter Meeting is this upcoming week! So with all that and much more going on, I appreciate you for taking a minute to enjoy an update on news from around the division.

For this issue of the newsletter, we have a special spotlight on some of our young members, including a Q&A with Syed Bahauddin Alam, one of our members who has gone above and beyond in support of the division. We also have a quick "where are they now" update on Ryan Spangler, who served as the Division's student representative for a number of years. After that we are also excited to feature several recent Human Factors award winners and the important work they have on-going. We also get to hear insights from our Division Chair, Dr. Ron Boring, and his perspective on the industry going forward.

For those of you who plan to attend the ANS Winter Meeting in Orlando next week, I would encourage you to attend the HFICD executive committee meeting on November 20th at 11:45 EST in the "Bluegill" room. This is a great chance to find volunteer opportunities inside the division, hear from the different committee chairs, and network with others in the division.

Lastly, make sure to save the date for the 2025 NPIC & HMIT Meeting! The meeting will be embedded with the ANS Annual meeting held in Chicago June 15-18, 2025. If you are interested in additional ways to get involved with the division or to support the NPIC & HMIT meeting, please feel free to reach out anytime!
