Recent surveys confirm high levels of U.S. nuclear support
Surveys have consistently indicated that public support in the United States for the use of nuclear energy has been increasing in recent years. Four recent surveys continue to suggest that near-record-high numbers of Americans support nuclear energy. However, the survey results differ—sometimes widely—in the details of their findings.

The Nuclear Engineering department and the University of Tennessee-Knoxville moved into the new, state-of-the-art Zeanah Engineering Complex in Fall, 2021. This move has more than tripled the department's footprint on campus with 27 new teaching and research laboratories. The Fast Neutron Source (FNS) is being designed and built in a heavily shielded area. FNS is a subcritical system with a reconfigurable design to mimic the neutron spectrum expected in a variety of advanced reactor systems, including sodium-, molten salt-, or lead-cooled reactors. In addition to the FNS, this tour will include other laboratory spaces focused on operations and maintenance, instrumentation and control, nuclear safety, and nuclear security.
