Deep Space: The new frontier of radiation controls
In commercial nuclear power, there has always been a deliberate tension between the regulator and the utility owner. The regulator fundamentally exists to protect the worker, and the utility, to make a profit. It is a win-win balance.
From the U.S. nuclear industry has emerged a brilliantly successful occupational nuclear safety record—largely the result of an ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) process that has driven exposure rates down to what only a decade ago would have been considered unthinkable. In the U.S. nuclear industry, the system has accomplished an excellent, nearly seamless process that succeeds to the benefit of both employee and utility owner.

The CASL Education Program was established to ensure that CASL results and technology were integrated into undergraduate and graduate curricula, and support the transfer of CASL technology to industry users. Programs developed to support this goal include undergraduate research opportunities, summer internships, development of new courses at constituent Universities and establishment of the CASL Institute. Panel members include faculty members from CASL partner Universities (NCSU, MIT, and UM), industry and former students that participated in activities sponsored by the Education Program. Presentations will summarize the history and evolution of the Education Program and its major contributions. Individual panel members will provide their unique experiences/perspectives associated with the program, followed by questions and discussion.
