  DOE fast tracks test reactor projects: What to know
  The Department of Energy today unveiled 10 companies racing to bring test reactors online by next year to meet Trump's deadline of next Independance Day, leveraging a new DOE pathway that allows reactor authorization outside national labs. As first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released by President Trump on May 23 and in the request for applications for the Reactor Pilot Program released June 18, the companies must use their own money and sites—and DOE authorization—to get reactors operating. What they won’t need is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license.

Nuclear in K-12 Education: Overview of ANS Toolkit & Reflections from Educators

October 21, 2020|2:00–3:30PM (3:00–4:30PM EDT)

Available to All Users

ANS, in partnership with Discovery Education and the Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, has developed resources to help K-12 educators teach nuclear science and technology. This webinar will begin with an overview of the resources, followed by reflections and commentary from three educators of various grade levels on their experiences teaching nuclear science and thoughts about ANS’s instructional materials. The webinar will then have a Q&A session with audience-supplied questions, responded to by the educators and an expert from the nuclear industry.
