Toward Solving Eisenhower's Atomic Dilemma (and Climate Change): A Strategy for U.S. Civil Nuclear Leadership
Victor Reis, Senior Advisor, U.S. Department of Energy,

In his speech at Hankuk, South Korea on March 26, 2012 President Obama said, "When we enhance nuclear security, we're in a stronger position to harness safe, clean nuclear energy. When we develop new, safer approaches to nuclear energy, we reduce the risk of nuclear terrorism and proliferation." Based upon a strategic planning model from the U.S. Apollo program, I'll use the recommendations from the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board subcommittee on small reactors and the recommendations of the President's Blue Ribbon Commission for America's Nuclear Future to develop a potential comprehensive strategy for the government's role in U.S. civil nuclear power.
