ANS holds Educator Training webinar on nuclear waste
Loewen
Perfetti
A recent American Nuclear Society webinar tackled misconceptions about nuclear waste. Christopher Perfetti, an associate professor of nuclear engineering at the University of New Mexico, presented “The How, Why, and Where of Nuclear Waste,” the latest online event in ANS’s Educator Training series.
Moderated by ANS past president Eric Loewen (2011–12), this presentation was built to be an accessible and informative Nuclear Waste 101 offering as part of the Society’s broader effort to develop a program specifically tailored to educating K-12 teachers.
