5. The U.S. Department of Energy has recently proposed a regulation that governs the export of peaceful nuclear technology, including for the production of electricity, to the multi-billion dollar global market. This proposed change could:
Adversely impact competitiveness of U.S. nuclear suppliers,
Disrupt existing commercial arrangements between U.S. manufacturers and their overseas customers,
Create additional administrative burdens
Significantly slow down the number of jobs created and brought in to U.S.

6. The NA-YGN mission of promoting nuclear science and technology could not be achieved without the efforts of the members. The energy from all of our members is what makes local chapters, committees and the core successful. The NA-YGN Awards Committee is currently looking for members to participate in the 2011-2012 selection process. If you are interested in being part of the committee team please let Nolan Coward (ncoward(a)entergy.com<mailto:ncoward@entergy.com>) know.
