Nuclear power’s new rule book: Managing uncertainty in efficiency, safety, and independence
The U.S. nuclear industry is standing at its most volatile regulatory moment yet—one that will shape the trajectory and the safety of the industry for decades to come. Recent judicial, legislative, and executive actions are rewriting the rules governing the licensing and regulation of nuclear power reactors. Although these changes are intended to promote and accelerate the deployment of new nuclear energy technologies, the collision of multiple legal shifts—occurring simultaneously and intersecting with profound technological uncertainties—is overwhelming the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and threatening to destabilize investor and industry expectations.
The Community College and Trade School Scholarship is for students in a two-year program planning a career in nuclear science, nuclear engineering, or a nuclear-related field and enrolled or planning to enroll in a college or university located in the United States (or its territories), but need not be U.S. citizens.
Examples of two-year programs include (but are not limited to): Nuclear Medicine Technology, Nuclear Engineering Technologies, Nuclear Power Technology, Radiation Therapy, Radiation Protection, Radiologic Technology and skilled labor (carpentry, electronics, welding, heavy equipment operators, etc.).
