Thursday, March 13, 2014 at 3:00p.m. EST NEI and the nuclear energy industry are launching a new multi-year advocacy campaign in the coming weeks.

As members of NAYGN and U.S. WIN, you are invited to participate in a webinar hosted by NEI, featuring Scott Peterson, Senior Vice President of Communications, to learn more about the advocacy campaign and how you can get involved.
