2022 SALT Research Group Virtual Open House for Prospective Graduate Students

Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, 2022. 10am – 11am PST (Virtual)
Please Register by Monday, Oct. 31st, 2022 to receive a calendar invite with a zoom link

Audience: Undergraduate students, masters students, and professionals in engineering or science fields with interest in learning about:
 graduate studies in nuclear engineering in the areas of chemistry, materials,
advanced reactors, fuel cycles safety, licensing, and engineering ethics.
 molten salt research and the future generation of nuclear energy (fusion
and fission).
