Although nuclear power technology and economics seem a little outside the bailiwick of transport theory and statistical physics, there are many persons working in the latter fields who have a background in nuclear engineering that provides some expertise in the former. Such as your editor, for example. I was fortunate enough to attend the symposium described in the title, where I learned a great deal about the economics of nuclear power, something about the technology, the needs of developing countries, particularly for trained personnel, but, most interestingly perhaps, I learned that there are still many areas of research where people with my (our) interests could contribute to the development of nuclear power and thus perform a truly valuable service to society. (For the opponents of fission power, certainly similar opportunities exist in other energy-related research areas such as fusion or solar energy utilization.)
