NA-YGN Announcements:
1. Please participate in a survey on improving communications about Japan -
Following the accident at Fukushima Daiichi this spring, we have all been engaged in
telling the story of our industry and the value we bring to our communities and the U.S.
We would like your insights from the conversations you have had - whether to an audience
of 50 or with your friends and neighbors - we'd like to learn what you've been
hearing. The nuclear industry will use this information to create products that nuclear
supporters like you can use to help the public better understand our industry and address
the issues that arise. Please take a few moments to complete the survey through the link
below. We'll report back about your input through the NA-YGN newsletter soon. Thank
you for all you do to support the nuclear industry in the U.S.
