We hope you will join us!</div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Recycling Nuclear Waste: Addressing Nuclear Waste in the 21st Century</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Speaker</b>: U.S. Senator Tom Carper</div><div><b>Date</b>: Monday, May 18th</div><div><b>Time</b>: 10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon</div><div><b>Location</b>: 56-114, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><b><i>Abstract</i></b></div><div><br></div><div>One of the long-term questions about nuclear energy is how to manage the waste. For many years, U.S. nuclear utilities have paid fees to the federal government for nuclear waste disposal. But work on disposal has come with delays and roadblocks. It is time to responsibly move forward to address the nuclear waste issue.</div><div><br></div><div>Senator Carper’s roundtable brings together MIT and Harvard professors to investigate options for handling the United States’ nuclear waste through recycling and reprocessing. Experts in the field will discuss the pros and cons of recycling technologies, providing information Senator Carper will take back to Congress with him during the ongoing congressional debate.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i>Host Bio</i></b></div><div><br></div><div>U.S. Senator Tom Carper is the senior senator from Delaware and a long- time supporter of safe nuclear energy. He believes nuclear power provides solutions to critical problems facing America today, including helping to reduce our reliance on foreign oil, and reducing air pollution that damages our environment and causes global warming. As chairman of the Senate subcommittee that oversees our nation's civilian nuclear operations, Senator Carper wants to ensure that the benefits of nuclear energy are realized in a way that responsibly protects the public's health and security, as well as the environment.</div><div><br></div><div><b><i>Roundtable Members</i></b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Senator Tom Carpe</b><b>r</b>, D-DE, Member Environment and Public Works Committee; Chairman, Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety; Member, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; Member, Senate Finance Committee; Chairman of the Senate Nuclear Caucus and the Senate Recycling Caucus</div><div><br></div><div><b>Dr. Matthew Bunn</b>, Associate Professor of Public Policy, John F.
