RPI Student Section of the American Nuclear Society MANE/ANSCONF RPI – 5049 110 8 th St.

1. It is our pleasure to extend an invitation for you to attend a one-day symposium on Economics in the Nuclear Industry. The purpose of this symposium is to bring together the economic and financial viewpoints from both the government agencies and the commercial nuclear industry. Recent changes in the economic landscape of the energy industry have rejuvenated interest in nuclear power. In light of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, tax credits, loan guarantees, and risk insurance have created additional excitement and anticipation for the construction of new reactors. The economic feasibility of the Next Generation Nuclear Plant Project and the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative have established prospective foundations for the future of nuclear power. Speakers and panelists will deliberate on the economic benefits and challenges facing the nuclear industry. The symposium is being held prior to the 2006 ANS Student Conference hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Space for students is limited with priority given to professionals attending. Come and be energized, renew enthusiasm, and be a part of the building of the future of the nuclear industry. We look forward to seeing you there! Tristan M Schaefer Michael S.
