Evergy’s Wolf Creek Generating Station, near Burlington, is the only nuclear power plant in Kansas. In addition to generating 20 percent of the state’s electricity—enough to power 800,000 homes—it has been generating educational opportunities by providing internships and co-op employment to nuclear engineering students from universities around the Midwest for 35 years.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has conducted a special inspection at the University of Texas’s TRIGA Mark II nuclear research reactor in Austin to evaluate the use of improper fuel. The inspection was ordered following a notification from the University of Texas—Austin to the NRC that the research reactor had been operating for several months with two fuel elements that were not licensed for the reactor.
