"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli

MORE NUCLEAR POWER FOR NEW YORK? An Educational Forum with French Nuclear Expert YVES MARIGNAC Thursday, September 17th (Today) 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. Legislative Office Building, Room 711A Albany, NY What are the implications of building a new nuclear reactor at Nine Mile Point in Oswego, NY? In this country, France is discussed as a model for nuclear energy. Is this a model the U.S. should be pursuing? International consultant on nuclear and energy issues, Yves Marignac is Executive Director of the energy-information agency WISE-Paris, which he joined in 1997 after four years shared between academic research in Paris-XI University, applied studies in the French nuclear institute CEA and a position at the nuclear company STMI. Marignac has authored or contributed to many publications and studies on energy, nuclear and global environmental issues. In 1999-2000, he participated in the economic evaluation of the nuclear option commissioned by France's Prime Minister, which resulted in what became known as the Charpin-Dessus-Pellat report. He also contributed to the 2001 report to the European Parliament's Scientific and Technological Option Assessment Panel on reprocessing plant discharges. In 2005-6, he was scientific and technical advisor to the commission preparing France's public debate on the new European Power Reactor. Marignac is a member of the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM) and is the Coordinator of the Pluralist Expertise Group (GEP) on uranium mining sites in Limousin commissioned by the French authorities.
