GLE gets incentives, draft EIS
The governments of Kentucky and McCracken County have granted preliminary approval to Global Laser Enrichment for a comprehensive incentive package to support the development of the North Carolina–based company’s planned Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility in the western part of the state. The performance-based incentive package would provide as much as $98.9 million in tax incentives and other economic incentives—provided that GLE reaches the required thresholds in investments and job creation.
In addition, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has completed a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) in response to GLE’s application to construct and operate the PLEF. Members of the public can submit comments on the draft EIS by May 11 for consideration by the NRC.

Session Chair:
Kelsey Amundson (Los Alamos National Lab)
Authenticity is a buzzword. Search “high performing teams” and the word authentic will appear in reference to individuals, relationships, communication, and more. But what does authenticity mean in a team context?
What, precisely, do we mean by authentic communication? Will authentic communication really make a difference in the health, happiness, and success of your team? How can you encourage authentic communication in others?
In this session, we will work with a Communication Toolkit, which will allow you to choose from a variety of tools to communicate authentically in professional situations, whether in a team setting or one-on-one, as well as to bring out authentic communication in others.
We will use elements of storytelling to add depth to our communication, and you will learn a framework for refining your message for your intended audience.
