and Expertise: A Three-Way Collaboration
DOE/NEI/Rensselaer Conference (Oct. 28, 2002)

"The continued availability of this essential
reservoir of qualified personnel is critical to ensuring nuclear
safety and security, encouraging nuclear innovation, and making

available for future generations." Full

and a developed a visionary plan to achieve it. Our aspirations
are high. Our constituencies are on board. The right structure
is in place. Our leadership team is energized and their enthusiasm
— and, I hope my own — is catching, and is catching
