April 11, 2011
Tonight, a panel of SFU experts will evaluate the repercussions of Japan’s nuclear crisis, which is being further complicated by ongoing aftershocks from last month’s earthquake. No reservations are required for the free public event from 7 to 9 p.m. in the lower concourse at SFU’s Morris J Wosk Centre. SFU V-P Research Mario Pinto will deliver the opening remarks for The Fukushima Nuclear Crisis, sponsored by the V-P Research office, the SFU chemistry department and the Chemical Institute of Canada. SFU researchers Mark Jaccard, Corina Andreoiu, Kris Starosta and Paul Schaffer will address issues, such as the benefits and risks of nuclear energy in a shrinking global energy market, from different disciplinary perspectives. David Murphy, a senior lecturer in the School of Communication, will moderate the discussion, which will allow time for questions from the audience. This event will be webcast at http://www.tlcentre.sfu.ca/broadcast/
