Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Established in 1957, University of Tennessee’s Department of Nuclear Engineering (UTNE) was the first NE department in the country and continues to be one of the most prestigious in the United States. With a brand-new building hosting faculty staff and students, along with a myriad of collaboration areas and 26 new nuclear engineering laboratories, UTNE provides a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
Our faculty is internationally recognized for excellence in research and teaching, and our advanced research programs are enhanced by close ties with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Y-12 Nuclear Security Complex, UCOR, at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP), and more than one hundred nuclear related companies located within fifty miles of Knoxville.
East Tennessee may have the largest concentration of nuclear industry anywhere in the world and is therefore an ideal place to come for nuclear education.
Our PhD program is the largest in the country and our graduate program consistently ranked as one of the top in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.
