On April 22, 1959, Rear Admiral George J. King, superintendent of the Maine Maritime Academy, announced that following the completion of the 1960 training cruise, cadets would begin the study of nuclear engineering. Courses at that time included radiation physics, reactor control and instrumentation, reactor theory and engineering, thermodynamics, shielding, core design, reactor maintenance, and nuclear aspects.

Join us for a tour of Idaho National Laboratory’s Materials and Fuels Complex. This tour will consist of visiting the Transient Reactor Test Facility, the Hot Fuel Examination Facility, Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory, the Space and Security Power Systems Facility, and discussions on the Experimental Breeder Reactor II Dome. These facilities are used to test and analyze future nuclear fuels, small modular and micro-reactor concepts and provide nuclear power systems for NASA and other customers. Come see the future of nuclear power at Idaho National Laboratory!
Lunch will be provided by INL.
