Sometimes you need an outsider to understand why you do what you do, and to help you to change. An outsider like Professor Jacopo Buongiorno.

Professor Buongiorno is an expert in nuclear energy from the renowned Massuchusett’s Institute of Technology in the USA, currently on sabbaticcal in Australia where he is Visiting Professor at the UNSW Nuclear Innovation Centre in Sydney.

His presentation will cover the latest technologies, including the micro-reactor design of Deployable Energies, conceived in Queensland, but being built in the USA. This technology aims to lower costs so that electricity would cost no more than 7 cents per KWh (current retail cost in Brisbane currently around 30 cents per KWh).

Capacity for this event is 150.

Professor Buongiorno’s speech will be at 6:00 followed by questions.

At 7:30 for those who want more detail we will adjourn to the Olivia room for a more intimate panel discussion where Professor Buongiorno will be joined by Professor Stephen Wilson, author of What would be requiredfor nuclear energy plants to be operating in Australia from the 2030s and Dr Stuart Ballantyne, Australian naval architect who has design cargo ships for nuclear power. Numbers are limited to 50.
