Hobbs, N.M. will play host to the Uranium Fuel Cell Conference on Wednesday and Thursday.

U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce, R-Hobbs, and New Mexico Secretary of Economic Development Jon Barela will present state and federal viewpoints on the economic impact of nuclear energy.

According to a news release, the event is the first of its kind to feature leaders who can speak on all aspects of the uranium cycle, from mining and exploration to nuclear energy and spent fuel storage.

The event will include a panel discussion on the Fukushima reactor in Japan, which was damaged in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, with a technical presentation comparing it to the 1979 Three Mile Island incident.
