“Nuclear Power and the Future”
Van Snyder
Speaker – Van Snyder, Jet Propulsion Lab
Climate change, climate conferences, and climate treaties are in the news. More and more we hear the warnings that time is running out and it is imperative that the problem must be solved now. Is nuclear power essential to the solution?
Van Snyder will propose that there is no alternative but the use of nuclear power, that an all-renewable energy system cannot work, and that the problems of safety, waste, price and weapons proliferation and uranium availability can all be overcome.
Van Snyder is a semi-retired JPL mathematician and software engineer with an abiding interest in nuclear power. He earned a BS in computer science and an MS in applied mathematics from West Coast University. He started work at JPL in 1967. His presentation is a result of extensive study and correspondence with experts. [Download PDF: Five Myths Slides ]
