As concerns about our dependence on
fossil fuels continue to grow, the need for an alternative form of
energy becomes ever more apparent. While nuclear power is the most
viable option, it is certain to face challenges in the future. Before
we begin expanding the use of nuclear energy to supply baseload power,
we must further enhance its safety and security. These issues are
of vital importance if nuclear power is to remain a major supplier
of energy in the future. That’s why our chosen theme for the
2006 ANS student conference is: “Nuclear Power: A Look at the
Future.” |
