TH35 Innovative Research Through the NRC’s Nuclear Education Program, Faculty Development Grants

This session will present innovative approaches to the development and enhancement of tenure track faculty in their careers as professors and researchers at the institution employed, highlighting experience in educating the next generation of nuclear-related engineers and scientists. This is essential to meet the Nation’s present and future national security needs and for building new, and maintaining existing, nuclear power plants that provide a safe, nonpolluting domestic energy source. Diverse experiences will be presented by speakers representing past recipients of faculty development grant awards.
