Hey, Fissionaries! My name is Mary Carpenter, and I'm one of your co-hosts. I lead content and digital strategy at NEI, and I love hearing from our guests about why they think nuclear is critical now and for our future. My favorite thing to do is travel the world and experience new places and cultures, so I see clean nuclear energy as a way to help protect natural treasures. I hope you will join us on Fissionary to learn how nuclear energy plays a role in your life.
Welcome, Fissionaries! I’m Jordan Houghton, your other co-host. I lead media relations at NEI, and I love sharing stories about how nuclear energy is making our world a better place. I’m a mom to two awesome kiddos, and my world view is so often colored by their perspective—I’m passionate about nuclear energy because I want to leave the world a better place for their generation, and I know nuclear is imperative for doing just that.
