Rensselaer secures $1.5 million from DOE/NNSA to launch new nuclear safety research program
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Nuclear criticality safety and reactor safety are at the heart of a new initiative led by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The five-year funding plan calls for $1.5 million to be invested at Rensselaer by the US DoE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program, managed by the National Nuclear Security Administration. The funds will support a new nuclear engineering research program and laboratory at Rensselaer, dedicated to the careful measurement and analysis of high-accuracy nuclear interaction data.
