A Nuclear Education Hub (NEH) for Training the Next Generation Nuclear Workforce*

The George Washington University (GWU) Physics Department and the Virginia Tech (VT) Nuclear Engineering Program  have established a Nuclear Education Hub (NEH) to provide practical training for both foreign and domestic masters students in Nuclear Science and Engineering. The goal of the program under development is to support global partnerships in nuclear power generation and utilization, and to educate the next generation of specialists in the area of nuclear technologies. NEH is centered in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and has entered into partnership agreements with nuclear research centers and National laboratories in US that offer access to state-of-the-art facilities to our students and instructors. To facilitate cooperation and communication between the stakeholders in both the US and abroad, NEH will established an external Board of Advisors that will provide support, advice and guidance on matters that will ensure the high quality of our programs and strengthen employment opportunities for our students.
