"As part of the Bush administration's effort to boost the nuclear
power industry, physics students at Langley High School will become
the first in the country to use a new curriculum from the U.S.
Department of Energy that promotes nuclear energy," reports the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Federal energy officials said last week
they hope the new curriculum will encourage more students to pursue
careers in nuclear engineering." The program, called "The Harnessed
Atom: a new curriculum in nuclear science and technology," could be
expanded across the country "if it succeeds at Langley." Federal
officials "are touting nuclear energy as 'green' power," ignoring
the nuclear waste issue.
