Jack Spencer at the Heritage Foundation is hosting a Capitol Hill event on September 15, 2008 called American Jobs and the Nuclear Renaissance.

Nick Loris has posted the details on the Heritage Foundation Blog – The Foundry.

I think it might be time to take a few hours of leave from my day job to visit and chat with others who are interested in the nuclear industry’s job creation ability. In our current economy, we need all of the jobs we can get for skilled engineers and manufacturing technicians.

ByRod Adams September 16, 2007July 6, 2020

I believe that every technological field needs its tinkerers. Those are the people who get so passionately wrapped up with the potential applications of a discovery – even if it is only new to themselves – that they want to know everything they can about how to use it. They are the kind of people…

More small reactor discussions

Apparently my meeting radar was off recently and I missed learning about the Global Nuclear Renaissance Summit in Alexandria, Virginia on 24 July until it was too late. I would have taken time from my day job, especially if I would have known that Dale Klein was going to spend some time talking about the…
