over the next decade and a half. Operational and support staffingrequirements for these new plants will be considerable: it has been estimated that ademand for tens of thousands of engineers working in nuclear-related disciplines willdevelop1. Of more pressing concern is the design, engineering, licensing and regulatorywork needed to bring these plans to fruition. Demand for skilled employees in theseareas is affecting a profound and immediate impact on the nuclear job market.Three examples serve to illustrate the pressing need for young talent at the outset of thepathway to the nuclear renaissance. Westinghouse Electric, a major reactor vendor andprovider of operational support services, has publicized its need for 500 trained engineersper

. There is a strong interest among faculty to seek interested undergraduatestudent participation in their research projects. The undergraduate research has often been usedas a recruitment tool for graduate schools. The undergraduate research participation in generalhas benefitted both students and the faculty and has given rich experience to the graduatestudents and researchers who otherwise would not interact with undergraduate students. TheNuclear Engineering student groups are generally small and this interaction has more impact onstudent learning. The undergraduate research during summer and during academic year innuclear engineering program is reviewed. Key lessons learnt by faculty and graduate studentsand feedback by undergraduate students

also called upon to explain to policymakers how the systemproduced by this combination of technologies will function. • what will it cost? Would it be competitive and practical? • what is its impact on national and global proliferation concerns? • what is the strategy for handling spent fuel or other waste forms? • what are the downsides? What R&D is needed to get from here to there?As specialists in fuel cycle systems engineering, you have proposed that your countryconsider a new fuel cycle policy. Your government has responded with a request thatyou conduct a ‘systems study’ outlining • the mechanics of your proposed fuel cycle: what are the mass flows of nuclear material
