Abstract:
Paul Seidler has an M.A. in Public Policy from the University of Chicago and a B.
A. from the University of Illinois. His interest in nuclear issues arose in the
1970s when he was an undergraduate student and became involved in the
antinuclear movement. Mr. Seidler worked on Ted Kennedy.s campaign for president
and was President of the campus Democratic organization. He later worked for
Paul Simon in his successful bid to unseat US Senator Charles Percy.
Mr. Seidler.s views on nuclear issues continued to evolve when he worked for the
Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety. Unlike Nevada, Illinois has a state of
the art very proactive system for dealing with nuclear waste. Paul Seidler was
directly involved in escorting and inspecting spent fuel shipments, but his
primary responsibility was setting a sow-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal
facility. He was the first person to successfully identify a .volunteer.
community to serve as host for a radioactive waste disposal facility. Several
years later he was recruited to work on the nation.s first high-level geologic
repository.
In the late 1980s, Mr. Seidler moved to Las Vegas to work for Science
Applications International Corporation. He was responsible for waste
transportation policy issues and intergovernmental relations. He developed an
excellent working relationship with the rural communities most impacted by the
project and waste transport. These relationships remain strong today. In the mid
90s he formed his own consulting firm with Ace Robison.
This seminar is sponsored by the Northern Nevada Section of IEEE and NV Nuclear
Energy.
