2/25/2013

FROM QATAR: Today was the last day of the conference, it's been a great experience! Winston Willett won Best Delegate award today for his IAEA committee (International Atomic Energy Agency). The topics were non-state actors and nuclear weapons, and phasing out nuclear energy. There were over 50 delegates on his committee, one award. Out of over 350 delegates, only 8 won awards, so this is quite an achievement- we're very proud of him!
