Dr. Marston will present the status of commercial nuclear power in the U.S. and global electricity generation picture. He will then discuss the safety and security of the current installations. He will present the options for dealing with the nuclear waste and discuss the pros and cons. Next, he will cover the status of the proposed new commercial nuclear plants in the US, including where, what and how many. He will then shift to the potential next generation of nuclear plants that can not only generate electricity, but can supply process heat to refineries and chemical plants, produce hydrogen by splitting water and help develop indigenous, nonconventional hydrocarbon sources. Finally, Dr. Marston will present what will happen if we elect to not build new nuclear plants.
