Last month we told you about the 2011 International Nuclear Energy Olympiad<\/a>, an international student competition seeking innovative ways to communicate nuclear technology for public buy-in.<\/p>\n

A total of 35 teams from 22 countries around the world applied. According to the sponsoring body, the Korea Nuclear Energy Promotion Agency,<\/p>\n

the overall quality of the submissions was exceptionally high making it extremely hard for the Committee to select only 10 teams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We at TalkNuclear <\/a>are very proud to announce that the team of CNA summer students, Alex Wolf and James Harrington, was one of those 10 teams selected to present their plan.<\/p>\n

Of their plan, Alex and James say:<\/strong> Showing people all the great things about nuclear energy is a complex task. It would be simple to provide widespread education on radiation science and nuclear safety, however not everyone has the time to devote to learning these topics. Different stakeholders have different needs, and our plan will focus on identifying these groups, listening to their specific concerns, and sharing relevant information through direct and word-of-mouth strategies.<\/p>\n
