A note on the continuation of Paulo's Corner

Over the coming weeks, the Nuclear Security Science and Policy Institute (NSSPI) at Texas A&M University will be picking up the task of delivering a daily news digest to current subscribers to Paulo’s Corner. While it will be difficult to fill the shoes of Dr. Barretto, we hope to be able to provide the same level of quality, balance, and timeliness in our service as you have all come to expect from Paulo’s Corner. Nuclear Security experts at NSSPI will serve as editors of the digest and will be scouring the web daily for the best possible content.

Everyone at NSSPI wishes Dr. Barretto the best of luck in his new endeavors, and we look forward to hearing from you with comments and suggestions for the service.



Goddard with the class from IITK
Posted: 05/2/2013 -- From 11-18 April, recent NSSPI Ph.D. graduate Braden Goddard traveled to northern India to teach classes in the Nuclear Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK).

Paulo's Corner
A daily digest of the most relevant nuclear news from around the globe, handpicked by Dr. Paulo Barretto

04/15/2013

Dear Paulo’s Corner reader,

After much consideration, I have decided to discontinue Paulo’s Corner. I started this daily compilation and distribution of news on nuclear policy and technology in 2004 and many of you have received it since that time. In 2009, I joined the Nuclear Security Science & Policy Institute (NSSPI) at Texas A&M University, and the digest became a service provided by NSSPI. During these almost 10 years, the original small group of recipients of the direct mail was greatly expanded to the current list of over 500 subscribers in 42 countries.

It has been a rewarding experience for me. I am immensely thankful for your support throughout these years, by your sharing articles and words of encouragement.

NSSPI is planning to continue this service in the near future under another name. Please stay tuned for more information about this transition.

Warm regards to all,
Paulo Barretto
