In the news: Nuclear News cover features Purdue Nuclear Engineering

The cover of the August issue of Nuclear News, the flagship trade publication for the nuclear community, features a photo of Purdue Nuclear Engineering’s PUR-1 – the first and only nuclear reactor in the U.S. licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate a fully digital instrumentation and control system.

The magazine of the American Nuclear Society wrote, “The PUR-1 is a busy place, hosting summer camps for high schoolers and teachers, workshops for industry professionals, training for reactor operators, and more.”

Purdue NE is working with the State of Indiana and industry leaders to drive the groundswell for nuclear power to generate more of the nation’s electricity. Along with propelling innovations to develop next-generation reactors, Purdue NE is pointing the way in addressing a shortage of nuclear engineers and other employees needed to drive the nuclear resurgence.

Further accelerating progress, on Nov. 5-6, the Purdue University College of Engineering will partner with the State of Indiana to host the Global Nuclear Energy Economic Summit on Purdue’s West Lafayette campus. The summit will bring together key stakeholders and catalyze collaborations for advancing Indiana’s nuclear energy future.
