At CSM’s temporary Center for Nuclear Energy Training (CNET) facility, four miles south of the college’s Prince Frederick Campus, Moore, left, joined by CSM Business and Technology Chair Robert Gates, right, spoke with first-year NET students about his personal journey from anti-nuclear activist to advocate for nuclear energy. CNET will move to its permanent location on the Prince Frederick Campus following completion of Phase II construction in 2013.
