Jeffrey King guides new nuclear program at Tennessee Tech
Jeffrey King
In August, the College of Engineering at Tennessee Technological University welcomed ANS member Jeffrey C. King as the founding director of its new nuclear engineering program. King, a leading force within the American Nuclear Society and a space enthusiast, is tasked with developing a new Department of Nuclear Engineering at Tennessee Tech after a more than 20-year absence of such a program at the university.
King comes to Tennessee Tech from the Colorado School of Mines, where he had been a professor of metallurgical and materials engineering for 15 years, leading the development of the nuclear science and engineering program and serving as director of the Nuclear Science and Engineering Research Center.

As the demand for electricity in America rapidly grows, our military installations are increasingly considering nuclear power as part of their energy resilience plans. Nuclear power operates 24/7/365, and has the potential to provide defense installations with resilient energy for several years, even in the face of extreme weather conditions, physical or cyberattacks, pandemics, biothreats, and other emerging challenges that could disrupt commercial energy networks. The Army, Navy, and Air Force each have initiatives in place exploring the deployment of nuclear reactors on installations.
