Pitt-Bradford Sponsors Forum on
Nuclear Power, Sustainable Energy
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford will host a forum next week on the role of nuclear power in sustainable energy.
“Nuclear Power and Sustainable Energy: Where Do We Go from Here?” will take place at 7:30 p.m. April 19 in 162 Swarts Hall. The forum is presented by the Pitt-Bradford Energy Institute and its Sustainability Committee. Matt Kropf, director of the institute, will moderate.
A nuclear engineer and environmental activist will both be on hand to discuss what role should be played by nuclear power in the search for sustainable alternatives to nuclear fuel.
Dr. Larry R. Foulke, an adjunct professor in the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh, will give an overview of nuclear technology and the crisis in Japan resulting from a tsunami last month.
Foulke retired in 2006 after a career with Westinghouse Energy Systems and the Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory. His areas of interest include education and training, nuclear energy policy and space nuclear power.
Raymond C. Vaughan of Hamburg, N.Y., is an environmental scientist with a doctorate in geology and a longstanding interest in nuclear waste issues.
He has served since 1997 on the West Valley Citizen Task Force, which provides input to the state and federal agencies that are cleaning up the nuclear waste site at West Valley, N.Y. In 2006, he testified before the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on behalf of the task force on site decommissioning matters.
Vaughn has a wide range of interests, including Western New York history, and enjoys canoeing, hiking, sailing, and other outdoor activities.
