To compete and thrive in the 21st century, democracies, and the United States in particular, must develop new national security and economic strategies that address the geopolitics of information. In the 20th century, market capitalist democracies geared infrastructure, energy, trade, and even social policy to protect and advance that era’s key source of power—manufacturing. In this century, democracies must better account for information geopolitics across all dimensions of domestic policy and national strategy.
In this Nuclear 101 Managing the Atom Seminar, Professor of Practice Matthew Bunn will provide an introduction to nuclear power plants and some of the key nuclear safety issues, including a brief discussion of what happened in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.
This seminar is part of a series entitled "Nuclear 101." The Nuclear 101 series presents overviews of key issues affecting the future of nuclear weapons, energy, and nonproliferation policies. This event is open the public, but seating will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
