July 9, 2008
Professor Niek Lopes Cardozo, head of fusion research at the FOM-Institute
for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen, Netherlands, made the opening speech at a UN
students conference in New York, March 6-7. Over seven hundred students
from all over the world took part in the annual United Nations
International School, whose theme this year was "Energy, A Source of
Conflict."
Speaking in the General Assembly Hall, Lopes Cardozo presented a version of
the "Fusion Road Show," an interactive presentation of issues of energy and
fusion which reaches some 2000 Dutch students each year, and then joined
the students in debate.
