Nuclear Q & A – William Fickinger

Date: Thu. November 15th, 2012, 4:15 pm-5:15 pm
Location: Rockefeller 301

This talk addresses key questions associated with nuclear energy and weapons technologies and their impact on society. The intended audience includes journalists, politicians, scientists, political-scientists, activists, and students from high-schoolers through post-docs. The informal powerpoint presentation steps through key questions about nuclei, uranium, enrichment, reactors, weapons, and treaties. The goal is to better inform the public on critical issues which are often discussed but not very well understood. CWRU physics faculty and students should find these details useful in their role as responsible informed citizens.
