ANS seeks program evaluators for ABET accreditation
When ABET visits universities for accreditation purposes, it’s crucial that a qualified nuclear expert performs the assessment of that school’s nuclear engineering, radiological engineering, and/or health physics programs. The Accreditation Policies and Procedures Committee (APPC) of the American Nuclear Society works to ensure that a program evaluator (PEV) from the Society leads these ABET assessments.

As the largest developing country, China is always paying a great attention to the research and development of energy resources. With a lot of efforts spent in developing the nuclear power (fission energy), China also puts much emphasis on the study of clean fusion energy. The progresses of research on the fabrication of solid breeders, preparation of hydrogen storage materials and its performances, the interaction between hydrogen and some materials recently in China have been introduced.
