RPI Nuclear Engineering Program

Interested in studying nuclear engineering? Here's a video showcasing some of the interesting projects young nuclear engineers are working on, and some of the companies they are starting! http://www.pbs.org//demand-clean-energy-inspires-new-gene/

One this day in 1953, the American Locomotive Company donated the it's test reactor to RPI, now know as the Walthousen Reactor Critical Facility!

Today marks the 60th anniversary since the first critical startup at the RPI Walthousen Reactor Critical Facility! Here are a few pictures of the facility then and now, and some more information about the anniversary! http://neams.rpi.edu//rpis-reactor-celebrates-60-years-of/

Updates from the RPI Student Section: Welcome back for the Spring 2013 semester! This past Thursday we had our first GB meeting of the year where Nick Thompson gave us a fun debate-style presentation clearing up the myths of Nuclear Power. Meetings this semester will be Thursdays at 8PM with Peer Tutoring at 7PM (Available every week) in LOW 3112.... Next Meeting we will be hearing from Dr. Sastry Sreepada as he awards RO Licenses to this year's class! Be sure to attend, and as always we will have pizza and drinks for attendees.

Look at what the student section has planned!
