Last night I had an interesting chat with Dr. Allison MacFarlane. She is an Associate Professor of Environment Science and Policy at George Mason University and a research associate of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs’ Project on Managing the Atom at Harvard University.
She also co-authored Uncertainty Underground: Yucca Mountain and the Nation’s High-Level Nuclear Waste with Dr. Rodney Ewing, who has also appeared on The Atomic Show.
Dr. MacFarlane and I ended our conversation by agreeing to disagree, but her arguments and position are important to understand since she is definitely not alone in academia.
