American Nuclear Society Public Information Activities

Abstract

The need for professional action to provide public information by each American Nuclear Society (ANS) member is based on our current domestic and international energy-related problems. Selected history of public information since the founding of the ANS through to its current activities provides a focus for future communication needs. Future efforts must be concentrated on key legislative groups, mass media, labor organizations, and local citizenry to convey an objective, well-rounded understanding of the benefits and risks of nuclear power.
