Nuclear outreach is more than just conveying technical information, it is also about the societal context and impact. In this session, panelists will discuss existing initiatives and effective methods to engage in meaningful dialogue with different stakeholders. Discussion on approaching the need and risk of nuclear will be explored as well as what you can do to promote nuclear within your community. Each voice matters and so does yours.
