NEED, Washington and Lee University, and the Lenfest Foundation are happy to announce the 2nd Nuclear Energy Conference for Educators, July 25- 29 2010. Up to 50 educators from across the country will be accepted to participate in this exciting training program in Charlottesville, Virginia. For more information or to apply, visit www.need.org/nuclear.
The conference includes speakers and presentations from noted experts in the field, including Dr. Frank Settle of Washington and Lee University and Dr. Charles Ferguson of the Federation of American Scientists as well as NEED’s nuclear education team. The conference is a mix of presentations and hands-on activities designed to expand knowledge of energy and nuclear energy while providing teachers with resources to take back to their classrooms and use easily. Plans for the conference include a tour of the North Anna Nuclear Information Center and AREVA’s nuclear operations and training facility in Lynchburg. (AREVA is the world leader in the design and construction of nuclear power plants and research reactors, engineering, instrumentation, and related services to the nuclear industry.)
Educators teaching grades 6-12 are encouraged to apply. All expenses will be covered by the conference sponsors.
