Nuclear Nonproliferation and Safeguards Education at UniversitiesANS Nuclear CafeAugust 28, 2014, 2:57PM|Lenka KollarI recently attended a Safeguards Education Roundtable at the Argonne National Laboratory sponsored by the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI). University professors and nonproliferation experts from U.S. national laboratories met at this event to discuss safeguards education at universities. The goal of NGSI is to "to develop the policies, concepts, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure necessary to sustain the international safeguards system" as it evolves in the future. A major pillar of the program is developing the next generation of professionals to work in the nonproliferation and safeguards field-and to make sure that the next generation of nuclear professionals is aware of nonproliferation and safeguards issues.Go to ArticleTags:national laboratoriesnonproliferationscience & engineering educationShare:LinkedInTwitterFacebook
