Description
This presentation is about the importance of public outreach
for a sustainable nuclear energy program. The
Fukushima-Daichii incident of 2011 and its aftermath changed
the course of the “Nuclear Renaissance” and brought back
skepticism about nuclear energy and its future. Some
countries decided to discontinue or slow down their nuclear
energy generating plans while others remain committed to
nuclear energy. The talk underscores the linkage of media
reporting and public opinion on policy changes.
