It was an honor to become the member of the Nuclear Power Engineering Committee (NPEC) which is one of the Technical Committees of the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES).  NPEC scope covers all nuclear power related technical and standards writing activities within the IEEE.  NPEC's principal subcommittees cover Equipment Qualification; Operating, Aging, Maintenance, Testing and Reliability; Auxiliary Power; Human Factors and Control Facilities and Safety Related Systems. Currently, many technical organizations are involved in the issues in which NPEC has an interest (grouper.ieee.org/groups/npec/index.html). 

This travel was also for the opportunity to visit in parallel organized DistribuTech conference and exhibition. DistribuTech is extraordinary event with numerous presentations from research, development to the most practical side. Exhibition was also enormously big with all major players in the ongoing power system transformation using information and communication technology.
