Ernest J. Moniz, NTI Experts to Join Institute of Nuclear Materials Management for Annual Event

NTI experts will participate in the 61st Institute of Nuclear Materials Management’s (INMM) Annual Meeting, to be held virtually from July 12-16, 2020. The event will connect technical experts, policy makers, researchers, academicians, and NGOs from around the world to exchange ideas on nuclear materials management, nuclear security, nonproliferation, nuclear safeguards, and more.

NTI has a long history of participation in INMM meetings, and NTI’s Vice President for International Fuel Cycle Strategies Corey Hinderstein is the organization’s immediate past president. This year, NTI Co-Chair and CEO Ernest J. Moniz will be the final keynote speaker of the conference at the Closing Plenary session on July 16 at 15:00 EDT, where he will participate in a facilitated Q&A on topics ranging from Iran to Artificial Intelligence. This Closing Plenary Session will be moderated by NTI Board of Directors member and inaugural Sam Nunn Distinguished Fellow Jill Hruby and Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Associate Lab Director for Global Security Nancy Jo Nicholas.
