  Baranwal reviews virtual STEM lessons for U.S. tribal communities
  Baranwal
  In a blog post to the Department of Energy’s website on November 23, Rita Baranwal, assistant secretary for the Office of Nuclear Energy, commended recent virtual lesson projects from the Office of Nuclear Energy and the Nuclear Energy Tribal Working Group to increase STEM opportunities for Native American tribes.
  The spotlighted lesson discussed in the article focused on a 3D-printed clip that turns a smartphone or tablet into a microscope with the ability to magnify items by 100 times. The Office of Nuclear Energy shipped nearly 1,000 of these microscope clips to students across the country, many of them going to U.S. tribal communities.

Worldwide Integrated View on Main Nuclear Energy Issues

Item ID: 690052

1997|1st Edition|200 pages

Description

Published by the International Nuclear Societies Council (INSC), the information presented in Worldwide Integrated View on Main Nuclear Energy Issues represents the unanimous position achieved by the 14 INSC member societies on each subject.

This 312-page book gathers seven selected issues that the INSC worked on over a span of two years and presents the common positions on those issues. Coverage includes these important issues: nuclear safety, public acceptance, the nuclear role in the future, radioactive waste, nuclear nonproliferation, risk methods, and low doses. For each of these subjects a comprehensive description of the current status of the subject, as well as the trends for the future, are provided.

This collection of papers is directed not only to the scientific community but also to the institutions, governments, and politicians concerned with the subjects covered.
