Subject: Invitation: National Nuclear Strategy Weekend 1-3 February


The national nuke strategy weekend is coming up on the 1-3 Feb, and I
wanted to invite you to participate.

Friday afternoon is particularly for those who would like sessions to
'get up to speed' where things are at, where Saturday and Sunday will
look forward and have skills sessions also.

We would look forward to having participate anyone who has been active
(or would like to be) on nuclear issues.

Yours truly

Jessica
