Kirsten Laurin-Kovitz has been elected to the Board of Directors for the American Nuclear Society. As the Associate Laboratory Director of Nuclear Technologies and National Security (NTNS) at Argonne, she advances nuclear innovation for a secure, resilient future.

American Nuclear Society@ANS_org

The 2026 ANS election results are in! During this election cycle, members voted for the newest vice president/president-elect and five board of director positions (four U.S., one non-U.S.) The next vice president/president-elect will be Rebecca Steinman, senior manager of licensing at @ConstellationEG. Steinman will succeed current ANS vice president/president-elect Mark Peters, who will assume the office of president following the upcoming ANS Annual Conference in early June. The new members of the board of directors include: ▪️Kirsten Laurin-Kovitz, associate laboratory director of nuclear technologies and national security at @argonne ▪️Leah Parks, siting manager for @KairosPower and formerly of @NRCgov ▪️Sandra Sloan, senior advisor of product development at @BWXT ▪️Paul Wilson, Department Chair and Professor of Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics at @UWMadisonNEEP ▪️Catherine Prat (non-U.S. board member), lead engineer at @WECNuclear working in Bulgaria
