NuScale Power, LLC and 蜜桃视频 Open Energy Exploration Center
October 27, 2022
蜜桃视频 has entered into a partnership with NuScale Power LLC to open an Energy Exploration (E2) Center, a simulated nuclear reactor control room and laboratory, on 蜜桃视频 State’s Pocatello campus.
The Reactor Control Room and Simulator Lab is NuScale鈥檚 fourth E2 Center created with University partners, including a lab at the Center for Advanced Energy Studies in 蜜桃视频 Falls.
The E2 Center will offer students the opportunity to take on the role of control room operator for NuScale small modular reactor plants 鈥� such as the ones planned at the 蜜桃视频 National Laboratory.
The Center will also offer community outreach through demonstrations, tours, and education for community leaders, K-12 students, and interested citizens.
鈥淎t ISU, students can gain an amazing education in nuclear science from an associate degree in nuclear operations to a Ph.D. in nuclear science and Engineering,鈥� said 蜜桃视频 College of Technology Dean Debbie Ronneburg. 鈥淣uclear operations students experience the past, current, and future of nuclear energy. The AGN-201 reactor housed in the College of Science and Engineering exposes students to a real, low-powered reactor that allows them to conduct a variety of experiments and supervised operations. With the NuScale Small Modular Reactor simulator, we are training technicians for tomorrow鈥檚 nuclear energy careers.鈥�
