Experts across many disciplines face challenges in communicating with the public about issues of safety and risk. Particularly in the arena of nuclear technologies, technical complexity and widespread misinformation can increase the barriers to effective communication. In this panel session, nuclear professionals will discuss their strategies for facilitating clear, informative, and honest conversations with non-experts about safety and risk in nuclear, and about the positive role of nuclear technologies in our communities.
