University of Michigan displays nuclear artifacts donated by ANS member
Mobley
American Nuclear Society member John Mobley IV recently donated some historical nuclear artifacts and memorabilia to the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences (NERS) at the University of Michigan.
Mobley is a nuclear engineering education researcher at the University of Michigan. Among his roles at ANS, he is currently the secretary of Young Members Group; the vice chair of the Education, Training and Workforce Development Division; and the vice chair of Student Sections Committee.
He said he chose to donate part of his collection to NERS because the University of Michigan is broadly committed to nuclear outreach at the local, state, and federal levels. The university is home of the first ANS Student Section, which turned 70 this year.

The US universities have been a cornerstone of nuclear science and engineering research and education since the beginning. These programs serve as hotbeds for idea creation as well as educating the next generation of scientists and engineers and performing fundamental research. The US Department of Energy – Office of Nuclear Energy supports the programs through student and faculty support as well as limited infrastructure funding. This panel will discuss existing R&D capability gaps and present potential solutions that could be realized by significantly increasing infrastructure funding to US university NS&E programs.
