  1. Campaign for Nuclear Energy Team: Nuclear Cowboyz (NuBoyz) Michael Hartley Ben Ponto Hieu Lai Luke French

  2. Overview • Address concerns • Propose solution • Introduce team • Outline project scope • Explain campaign topics and methods

  3. Energy Concerns • Global increase in energy demand • The United States is highly dependent on fossil fuels • General lack of understanding and fear of nuclear power • Need for high-production, sustainable and viable energy sources • Environmental problems with other energy sources

  4. Proposed Solution • Initiate educational and promotional campaign for nuclear power • Work to inform United States public of the benefits and advantages of nuclear power • Generate a plan to install nuclear reactors in major cities/counties throughout the country

  5. Team Background • Highly qualified engineers who have backgrounds in working with nuclear power • Michael: Mechanical Engineer, worked at Naval Reactors from 2000-2008 • Hieu: Mechanical Engineer, completed research in sustainable energy at MIT from 2004-2010 • Ben: Chemical Engineer, assisted Japanese government in containment and cleanup efforts after tsunami damage in March 2011 • Luke: Mechanical Engineer, worked with One Vision Partners to develop educational programs on sustainable energy from 2005-2009

  6. Scope of Proposed Campaign • Phase I: Research and team building • Phase II: Campaign development • Phase III: Initiation of campaign in target medias • Phase IV: Launch of revised national campaign

  7. Ultimate Goal • Improve public awareness of the importance of nuclear power as a viable, safe, and sustainable energy source • Construction of nuclear reactors throughout country with public and governmental support

  8. Historical Analysis • Examine lessons learned from mistakes and crises related to nuclear power • Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima • Analyze success of United States Navy’s nuclear power program • Research origins of nuclear power as commercialized energy source

  9. Technical Analysis • Develop basic schematics that can be shown to general public • Conduct fundamental energy and thermodynamic analysis on current reactor designs • Present findings in format suitable to target audience

  10. Economical Analysis • Analysis of costs surrounding installation and operation of reactors • Explain economical advantages of nuclear power as compared to other energy sources • Research cost-saving methods and develop installation budget

  11. Sustainability Analysis • Examine safety of nuclear power • Analyze impacts on environment • Discuss waste management • Research methods to improve sustainability and operational safety

  12. Methods of Communication • Social media • Classroom seminars • Town hall, grass root movements • Television advertisements • Congressional hearings

  13. Proposal Summary • Problem: The U.S. needs more viable, sustainable energy sources • Solution: Install nuclear power plants throughout the country • Initiate national campaign to raise awareness and support
