Nuclear Technologies and Climate Change mitigation

February 13, 2008,
3:00pm - 5:00pm

Speaker: Professor Richard Lester. What in the world is the connection between nuclear engineering and climate change? Come and join us with a lecture and discussion with Professor Richard Lester about why climate change occurs and what must be done to address the problem. Explore the role of nuclear technologies in future climate change mitigation strategies and what nuclear scientists are doing about it. This lecture is a part of the "Focus On Climate Change" series of multi-departmental events from Feb. 12th to 14th that emphasizes on the links between fields of study in MIT and climate change. It also connects interested students with resources available to make a change in our MIT community and beyond.
