The College of Engineering opened a new interactive space in the Science and Engineering Building to train students and support research in nuclear reactor physics. The lab space, supported by a grant from the US Dept. of Energy's Nuclear Energy University Program, will utilize NuScale Power's trademarked Energy Exploration (E2) Center technology to simulate a control room environment in a nuclear power plant and equip students in engineering and radiochemistry for careers in the nuclear energy industry. ºÚÁÏÍø will be the ninth institution worldwide to train students on the NuScale control room simulator.
