Public Education Program (PEP)
|
 |
PEP was initiated in 1980. Its primary purpose was, and still is, to provide the resources required by the Society to carry out one of its major functions: informing the public as objectively as possible of the many uses, both actual and potential, of nuclear science and technology; their benefits and challenges.
This responsibility to disseminate the truth about nuclear energy is met by multi-faceted activities, ranging from answering questions from the public to providing classroom projects to students and teachers. The projects involve a large portion of the membership of the Society.
PEP provides materials and other assistance to those who are sponsoring and coordinating outreach projects. Contact the ANS Outreach Department at outreach@ans.org or call 708.352.6611 for information. Read about current PEP programs in the Annual Report.
