Disney World should have gone nuclear
There is extra significance to the American Nuclear Society holding its annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, this past week. That’s because in 1967, the state of Florida passed a law allowing Disney World to build a nuclear power plant.
Inform and Inspire the Next Generation Series
July 21, 2020|9:00–10:30AM (10:00–11:30AM EDT)
Available to All Users
We invite you to register for the first webinar of the new Inform and Inspire the Next Generation Series, which highlights successful youth outreach initiatives around the world.
This webinar, free and open to all, is sponsored by the American Nuclear Society (ANS), the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future (NICE Future) initiative, the CEM Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) initiative, and the International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC). The new series showcases educational activities that inspire the next generation to explore energy solutions, including nuclear energy technologies for clean, reliable, resilient, and integrated systems.
This webinar presents new ways experts are growing the next generation of young minds with innovative approaches to STEM education. Starting with a discussion of successful new programs in the U.S., the webinar will preview upcoming webinars in the series focusing on other countries.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will set the stage with a global perspective by discussing resources and national approaches available to nuclear newcomer countries. Next, our C3E speaker will highlight ongoing efforts to advance gender diversity in clean energy professions.
We will then turn to our U.S. focus story, "Navigating Nuclear: Energizing our World." This platform is brought to us by ANS and Discovery Education, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE/NE). Navigating Nuclear provides educators with dynamic, standards-aligned tools to dig deeper into the role of nuclear science in fields like power generation, medicine, space exploration, food preservation, molecular science, and much more. Observe an interactive suite of FREE classroom resources, such as a virtual field trip to Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
Learn how these initiatives engage educators and students, setting the stage for enhanced professional development for educators in nuclear energy-related studies. Initiatives at INL and DOE/NE will also be discussed.
