Show Notes
Washington State Universitys Nuclear Science Center, the states only research reactor, is celebrating its 65th anniversary amidst a new nuclear era. With growing demand for next-gen reactors, cancer treatments, and clean energy, the center is expanding with nearly $8 million in funding. Tech companies and the military are investing in nuclear power, and recent safety rule changes aim to speed up new reactor builds. The center, named after a Manhattan Project chemistry professor, is partnering on research for various applications, including medical treatments. A $7.6 million addition, including special hot cells, is underway, with plans for a larger expansion in the future. The center is training students for operator licenses and plans to offer more degrees and certificates in high-demand skills to meet the coming shortage of nuclear workers.
