Washington DC CBS Workshop

What better place to host a workshop on used fuel storage than the capital of our country, where policy is studied, made, enforced, and hopefully changed. We are in a stalemate with plans for managing nuclear fuel, with every path forward being illegal. This needs to change.

With this in mind, our team converged on Washington DC on July 12 to host a workshop focused on targeting nuclear professionals and leaders in government and think tanks.

Some questions from audience members started with “I already like nuclear, I’m obviously here doing this on a Saturday, but….” ;-)
Part of our challenge as a nuclear group talking about nuclear issues is how to reach people that maybe aren’t so into nuclear and don’t want to spend a Saturday talking about it.

During their trip to DC, the Native Nuclear team visited the Museum of the American Indian.

Heather also visited the museum on a previous trip. When having conversations with native groups, its important to learn and connect and try to have as much context as possible for their positions.
