Award for Spanish Nuclear Society Chief

The secretary-general of the Spanish Nuclear Society, María Teresa Domínguez, has been named as the 2001 winner of the European Nuclear Society's Jan Runermark Award.

Ms Domínguez graduated in physics at the Complutense University of Madrid and has developed her professional career over the past 27 years with the Spanish engineering company Empresarios Agrupados.

Her work has been related to safety and licensing issues for several Spanish nuclear power plants and for advanced designs. She was appointed vice-chairman of the company's safety department in 1994.

The Spanish Young Generation, which nominated Ms Domínguez for the award, praised her "strong and enthusiastic" support for their network in Spain.

The Jan Runermark award, which is presented annually, is named after the former president-elect of ENS and the founder of the international Young Generation Network, who died in an accident in 1995.
