In 2011\, the CNA launched four successful social media channels under the TalkNUclear brand. TalkNUclear is our opportunity to engage Canadians in a dialogue about what they want to talk about and create an environment in which Canadians can have a healthy\, balanced conversation about nuclear technology. \nThe presentation The Canadian Nuclear Industry “Talking Nuclear” will explain what social media is and why it matters\, and provide resources and tips for how you can get involved and add your voice to the nuclear conversion that is happening online – with or without you.   \n\n\n\n\n09:00-09:30 \n\n\nQuestions/Discussion \n\n\n\n\n09:30-10:00 \n\n\nPresentation 2  Denise   Chartrand\, Royal Roads Univsersity \nConcepts for how to develop an understanding in multi-party discussions \nThere is much discussion about working together to develop sustainable solutions. In reality working together is often easier said than done. This talk will touch on some key concepts for how to develop an understanding in multi-party discussions including\,  \n\nUnderstanding who needs to be at the table\nDeveloping ground rules to empower success\nExploring productive communication practices in groups\nManaging conflict effectively\n\n\n\n\n\n10:00-10:30 \n\n\nQuestions/Discussion \n\n\n\n\n10:30-10:45 \n\n\nCoffee Break 1 \n\n\n\n\n10:45-12:00 \n\n\nGroup Workshop 1  Hosted   by Dave Shoesmith \nTopics for Discussion: \n\nHow   can nuclear outreach gain credibility when most people representing the   technology are employed by the industry?  (i.e. how to overcome the   perception of employment bias?)\n“Do   fewer things\, but do them well”:  Given the relatively small size of the   nuclear industry\, how could the combined resources of the industry be pooled   to most effectively communicate nuclear science and technology to the public?\nWhat   are the “top five” things we do wrong as a technical community in reaching   out to the public?\nHow   can the public’s (or students’) “critical thinking” capabilities be improved   when it comes to assessing controversial subjects?\n\n\n\n\n\n12:00-13:00 \n\n\nLunch \n\n\n\n\n13:00–14:00 \n\n\n\nGroup   Workshop 2  Hosted by Dave Shoesmith\n\nTopics for Discussion: \n\n“Matching   the message to the audience”:  summarize how the same overall message   (e.g. what happened at Fukushima\, incl. health effects) would be best   communicated to each of the following groups: (1) Grade 7 students; (2)   High-school science students; (3) general public; (4) the media\n“Will   the real expert please step forward”:  How can the general public   distinguish between (seemingly) equally qualified experts\, whose opinions   differ greatly on controversial topics like nuclear power?\nHow   do we as members of a civilized society embrace greater integrity in   communication for society’s benefit at the expense of individual benefits.   Can this altruism be taught? Can we ever change this human trait? eg we   humans will oppose an initiative on the grounds of a financial impact (a base   human cause)but for public consumption we say we oppose on the basis of   health and safety impacts – a much higher human cause.\n\n\n\n\n\n14:00-14:30 \n\n\nQuestions/Discussion \n\n\n\n\n14:30-15:00 \n\n\nTravel to McMaster \n\n\n\n\n15:00- 17:00 \n\n\nTour of McMaster Reactor \n\n\n\n\n17:00 \n\n\nEnd of Day 2 \n\n\n\n\n  \nContacts:  \nGeneral inquiries may be addressed to the CNS main office at  cns_office@cns-snc.ca\, or call (416)977-7620.  \nThe Technical Program Chair\, Brad Moore can be reached at moorebg@hotmail.ca. For sponsorship information please contact Cherie Ferrari at Cherie.Ferrari@kinectrics.com or John Krasznai at john.krasznai@kinectrics.com.
