Key questions regarding nuclear security culture are put forth to a panel of experts through a round table discussion. The conversation begins with Igor Khripunov's inquiry of the definition of the public and its role in nuclear security culture. Each participant then responds to specific aspects, often related to their field or the perspective of the organization they represent. Roger Howsley stresses the need for improved cooperation among the public, industry and government regulators. Mary Alice Hayward, representing AREVA, expresses that not only does the nuclear industry have a large stake in the interest of nuclear security, but that the education of those stakeholders is critical. Sharon Squassoni addresses the role of the media and its influence on the Public, as well as a concern for transparency in nuclear industry with consideration to how competition could hinder information sharing.
