Washington & Lee University and the Council on Foreign
Relations will sponsor an interdisciplinary workshop for
educators on the role of nuclear power in meeting future
U.S. energy requirements. A Council special report,
Nuclear
Energy; Balancing the Benefits and Risks (April 2007) will serve a the basis for presentations by a group of
distinguished presenters and for more informal discussions.
The workshop will be held June
20-24, 2007, on the campus of Washington & Lee in Lexington,
VA. Experts in science, technology, economics, regulation,
and proliferation will provide information and insights to
address the deliberations surrounding this energy source.
The distinguished presenters represent different positions
on scientific and policy issues associated with this
important question. Time will also be dedicated to the
presentation of these issues in a variety of educational
environments. Stipends will be available to selected
participants for travel and living expenses.
For more
information contact Ms. Lynda Bassett-deMaria (Bassett-deMariaL@wlu.edu).
This workshop is made possible by the generosity of the
Lenfest Foundation. |
