| description abstract | As the NED chair, it is my highest honor to recognize the contributions and thank ASME Staff, the present and past NED members, especially the members and past chairs of the Executive Committee, for their foresight, prudence, and commitment, which has positioned the NED to be well equipped to embrace the ever changing opportunities, and contend with unprecedented COVID-19 challenges facing us today. I cordially invite all of you to participate and support any NED activities. Together, we will succeed and continue the success of our great division as well as the Nuclear Community as a whole.The NED is firmly committed to addressing the need for clean energy and reducing the global carbon footprint. The use of Nuclear Power along with other low carbon power generation such as wind, sunlight, oceans, biomass, hydropower, and geothermal resources, are the key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. NED is a founding supporter of the Advance Clean Energy Summit (ACES), which crosses traditional power generation silos, to create a collaborative environment and provides attendees the tools and knowledge to help their organizations overcome challenges and shape the future of clean energy around the world. This summit was first held in 2019 and is held annually; offering a mutually supporting setting for “Achieving the Clean Energy Promise.” | |
