“The Evolution of Energy Conversion – a Continuing Role for Nuclear Energy”
with Keith Burns
One of two events taking closer look at Nuclear Energy in the UK, to be followed by a field visit to Torness in May.
- Our Speaker
-
Keith Burns is a mechanical engineer who has spent most of his career in the nuclear energy industry, involved in design, construction, operation and regulation, mainly in the UK but also with experience in Canada, Pakistan and China.
He will review the history of energy conversion and suggests that zero carbon emissions and natural resource sustainability are unlikely to be achieved without nuclear energy.
He appeals for rational debate on our realistic options for the future.
