DOE opens pilot program to authorize test reactors outside national labs
Details of the plan to test new reactor concepts under the Department of Energy’s authority but outside national laboratory boundaries—first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released on May 23—were just released in a request for applications issued by the DOE.
PHYSOR 2022 and ANS Pittsburgh Section are committed to encouraging underrepresented persons to enter and flourish in the field of nuclear reactor physics. In fulfilling this commitment, we are supporting student grants for the PHYSOR 2022 Conference, May 15–20 (Pittsburgh, PA).
The grants are for current students who identify with underrepresented and historically excluded groups. All underrepresented students are highly encouraged to apply, including:
Students from any discipline are welcome to apply and are not required to be ANS members.
The grant will cover registration, travel, and lodging.
Scan to apply
To be considered students shall complete this application by Monday, April 25.
