Potential "Sputnik Moments" for U.S. Energy Challenges: A Strategic 
Planning Perspective

Presented by
Victor H. Reis, Department of Energy
Senior Advisor of the Under Secretary for Science

*Wednesday, Dec. 21, 4 p.m.*
CEBAF Center auditorium
Cookies and coffee in the CEBAF Center lobby beginning at 3:30 p.m.

President Obama and Secretary Chu have suggested that Energy might 
provide some "Sputnik Moments" for U.S. energy challenges, and in 
particular the U.S. Department of Energy. I'll review Sputnik and Apollo 
from a strategic planning perspective, and then review several DOE 
programs: Stockpile Stewardship, the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership 
and the current DOE efforts in exascale computing and small modular 
reactors. In particular, I'll raise the issue of nuclear power and 
climate in light of the Fukushima disaster. Lively discussion will be 
encouraged.
