Former U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici will headline a uranium fuel conference in Hobbs later this month.
The N.M. Center for Energy Policy and others are organizing the conference to bring together leaders in nuclear-related mining, energy and waste management.
From a news release about the event:
“Domenici has long been considered one of the most consistent and forceful national advocates of the nuclear industry.
“The six-term senator from New Mexico is a member of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future, a panel formed by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2009 and tasked by Secretary Steven Chu to study options for the disposal of nuclear waste.”
Domenici will talk about the uranium fuel cycle and environmental issues related to the disposal of spent fuel. A session at the conference will also address the crisis at Fukushima reactor in Japan.
The conference will be held April 27. Click here for more information and to register.
