Join us Tuesday, January 12 for our Lunch Lecture with Dr. Aris Candris — President and CEO, Westinghouse Electric Company
Meeting the World's Energy Needs in a CO2-constrained environment – The Role of Nuclear Power
America’s dependence on imported oil has been much-discussed for years but remains largely without an implemented solution. The 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen has focused the United States’ attention on reduction of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. What is the role of Nuclear Power in addressing the complex interaction of these two major issues?
Dr. Aris Candris, President and CEO of Westinghouse Electric Company, will present an informed perspective on the past, present, and future of Nuclear Power in both the USA and the World. A career Westinghouse employee since 1975, Dr. Candris will reflect also on Pittsburgh’s history in Nuclear Power and how Nuclear Power’s “Renaissance” has resulted in employment and economic gains for our Region.
Dr. Candris holds a BA degree in Physics, Math, and Engineering from Transylvania University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Nuclear Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. He is active with both schools in Board or Advisory Board capacities, and he is a member of the Nuclear Energy Institute and the World Nuclear Association Board of Directors.
