Nuclear Science Week (NSW) is an international celebration that focuses on contributions of nuclear science and technology – Think Clean, Think Solutions, Think Nuclear. 

Register here for upcoming on-campus events.

NSW was 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.
