> Two Princeton University Task Forces that have researched ways to prevent and mitigate biological and nuclear reactor terrorism will offer “power point” presentations of their findings at 7:30 PM on Thursday, May 30 in Bowl 1 of the University's Woodrow Wilson School, located at the intersection of Washington Road and Prospect Street.

> Five undergraduate students studied nuclear reactor terrorism, and three researched bioterrorism during the spring, 2002 semester as part of Princeton's Community Based Learning Initiative (CBLI). CBLI pairs community agencies with Princeton University classes which study a field related to the agency's work. The students produce their research results in a form that is useful to the agency, in this case, the Coalition for Peace Action.

> The students were supervised by Professor Frank von Hippel and Dr. Zia Mian in the class they taught on Science and Public Policy. Both will also be present for the public presentations by the students. The Nuclear Terrorism Task Force released their report in a State House press conference on May 21 that was widely covered. This is an opportunity for the public to directly hear the findings and ask questions.

> “New Jersey has already been central in the anthrax bioterrorism attack-the Hamilton post office was where the letters were mailed, and where a number of postal workers were infected. And our state could be an attractive target for nuclear reactor terrorism-a so-called dirty bomb-because the Salem nuclear facilities in south Jersey are so close to a large population center.

> So it is particularly important and relevant for New Jerseyans to take advantage of this opportunity to learn of ways to protect themselves and to shape public policy solutions,” said the Rev. Robert Moore, Executive Director of the Coalition for Peace Action, which is sponsoring the presentations.
