This is done through a variety of initiatives including: “Bringing Nuclear into the Classroom;” SSNI (Southeastern Summer Nuclear Institute); Nuclear Blitz teach-ins; Lifelong Learning Academy teaching; and scholarships for students and scientists. Check out their work and the resources available on our Classroom Page.
