Denis Beller (Harry Reid Center) conducted a presentation titled "Atomic Time Machines: Back to the Future of Nuclear Power Part II" at the 2012 Community Environmental Monitoring Program Annual Symposium held at the Desert Research Institute in July. He also served as a panelist for a discussion of the Fukushima reactor disaster in Japan, "17…
Charlotta Sanders (Harry Reid Center) and R.R. Lehman presented "Development of a ÐÔÊӽ紫ý Nuclear Criticality Safety Program in Conjunction with Support by URENCO USA" at the 2012 winter meeting of the American Nuclear Society in San Diego in November. The presentation also will be published by the society.
