Byrne (SCANA), Mr. Sumit Ray (Westinghouse), Dr. Bill Summers (SRNL) and Dr. JR Regalbuto (professor and endowed chair, USC). More than 70 students, faculty, and members of the public were in attendance. The presentation, discussion and question and answer period lasted more than two and a half hours.
