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.<br>
