Nuclear Hydrogen -Chemical and Nuclear Engineers’ DreamAbstractNuclear energy is one of the practical energy sources to produce CO2 free hydrogen. Thisnuclear hydrogen technology requires both Nuclear and Chemical Engineers. At anundergraduate level this concept of bringing chemical engineers and nuclear engineers to worktogether in future energy technology is exciting and has created interest in chemical engineeringundergraduate students to participate in research activities in Nuclear Engineering discipline. Anaccount of projects on nuclear hydrogen area carried out by chemical engineering undergraduatesin nuclear engineering school is presented. The projects were on thermochemical water splitting,sodium borohydride hydrolysis, and fuel cell

AC 2008-1572: DEVELOPMENT OF A NUCLEAR CERTIFICATE FOR NUCLEARSAFETY, NUCLEAR SECURITY, AND NUCLEAR ENVIRONMENTALPROTECTION WITHIN A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENTSheldon Landsberger, University of Texas at Austin Dr. Landsberger is Coordinator of the Nuclear and Radiation Engineering Program and has primarily involved in the determination of heavy metals in environmental samples using nuclear analytical methods. In particular he has developed improved nuclear techniques to better determine the elements of critical importance in identifying regional sources of airborne particles, and characterizing solid waste leaching dynamics. His current research interests include low-level counting of
