Princeton ACS Meeting Announcement

From the time that atomic energy was developed into nuclear weapons through the “Atoms for Peace” initiative focused on non-destructive uses for atomic energy and materials, the United States was a world leader in the nuclear industry. In the 1980’s, however, following the Three Mile Island accident and the cancellation of almost 100 new nuclear plants, the U.S. reverted to maintaining the “status quo,” i.e. to running the existing nuclear generation units and not expanding. Today, the challenges of climate change have revitalized the nuclear industry worldwide and other countries are actively pursuing nuclear growth. And, these countries are, once again, looking to the United States, to take a leadership role. For the good of our common future, we must respond.
