The College of Engineering opened a new interactive space in the Science and Engineering Building to train students and support research in nuclear reactor physics. The lab space, supported by a grant from the US Dept. of Energy's Nuclear Energy University Program, will utilize NuScale Power's trademarked Energy Exploration (E2) Center technology to simulate a control room environment in a nuclear power plant and equip students in engineering and radiochemistry for careers in the nuclear energy industry. 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ will be the ninth institution worldwide to train students on the NuScale control room simulator.
