Battelle EVP Mark Peters Receives Henry DeWolf Smyth Nuclear Statesman Award

Battelle Executive Vice President for National Laboratory Management and Operations Mark Peters was presented yesterday with the Henry DeWolf Smyth Award by the American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute at the Nuclear Energy Assembly in Washington, D.C.

The Henry DeWolf Smyth Nuclear Statesman Award recognizes an individual for outstanding service in developing and guiding the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. It is presented once per year to only one individual. The nominee must be widely recognized for their statesmanlike contributions to the many aspects of nuclear energy. A significant segment of the candidate’s work must have been directed toward the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The award consists of an engraved bronze medal, which incorporates a bust of Henry DeWolf Smyth.

“I am truly honored and humbled to receive this award,” said Peters. “I have spent my career working to develop nuclear energy, and I believe it is one of the most effective ways we can help reduce carbon in our planet’s atmosphere, while still producing affordable, reliable, and resilient energy for our nation and the globe.”
