Purdue Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series: “The Politics and Engineering of Nuclear Waste Management”

Ronald M. Latanision, Senior Fellow, Exponent Inc., gave this lecture to the Purdue University College of Engineering on April 26, 2022, Latanision discussed why nuclear electric generation should remain an important part of our energy mix in the future, followed by a panel discussion with several Purdue Engineering faculty members. 

Prior to joining Exponent, Dr. Latanision was the Director of The H.H. Uhlig Corrosion Laboratory in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at M.I.T., and held joint faculty appointments in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and in the Department of Nuclear Engineering. He led the School of Engineering’s Materials Processing Center at MIT as its Director from 1985 to 1991, and is now an Emeritus Professor at MIT.
