Alternative Visions for Our Shared Nuclear Future: Energy, Security, Policy (A Workshop at the Virginia Tech Research Center, Arlington, VA, May 13, 2019)

May 13, 2019

The nuclear energy industry plays a vital role in America’s future, affecting U.S. energy security, sustainability, and national security. Yet the industry faces new and unprecedented challenges. Aging domestic infrastructure, international competition from Russia, China, and others, and geopolitical instability create profound uncertainties for the U.S. nuclear industry. This workshop examines how the U.S. might balance competing priorities as policy makers review the nation’s nuclear energy policy.
Organized by the Department Science, Technology and Society at VT.
