Sarah Stevenson: An ANS member since 2016, Stevenson received her M.S. in nuclear engineering from UC Berkeley in 2020 and her B.S. in mechanical and nuclear engineering from Kansas State University in 2018. While she was an undergraduate, Stevenson was involved with the ROTC—culminating in being commissioned as a physics/nuclear engineering officer in the United States Air Force in 2018—and was a licensed senior reactor operator at the KSU TRIGA Reactor.

Stevenson also held various internships from 2016 through 2019 at the Idaho National Laboratory, French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Sandia National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

“It is an honor to be selected to serve as a 2023 ANS Congressional Fellow. I am excited to continue the important policy work of past fellows supporting nuclear’s role in the clean energy transition,” Stevenson said.
