For 2019, NC State’s Department of Nuclear Engineering has scheduled tours, an alumni chat session, a computer language workshop, and a research seminar; see below for the complete schedule.
Nuclear Science Week (NSW) is an international celebration that focuses on contributions of nuclear science and technology. And this year’s theme is Think Clean, Think Solutions, Think Nuclear. The 2019 kick-off event is in Washington DC this year.
Conceived in 2009, the Smithsonian-affiliated National Museum of Nuclear Science & History consulted with its nuclear industry partners, discussing the need for generating communication and public awareness centered on the achievements of nuclear science. Through these discussions, the idea of hosting a week that celebrated the field of nuclear science materialized. NSW held its first event in 2010 and is spearheaded by a number of organizations across the nation.
NC State’s Department of Nuclear Engineering has held its own NSW celebrations over the years as well as teamed with the American Nuclear Society – Wilmington Chapter in 2017 and the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History in 2011.
