The first Nuclear Science Week (NSW) celebrations, 2010-2012... To ensure participation with all members of the national steering committee and industry partners – including all areas of power generation, nuclear medicine, national defense and teaching communities – Nuclear Science Week was officially moved to the third week of October.

How CNTA Participates in Nuclear Science Week:

Annual Teller Lecture & Banquet

The Teller Lecture & Banquet is a time for members of the public to come learn more about the current advances in nuclear technology as well as see pioneering scientists awarded for their efforts in the industry.

Annual Young Professional Fundraiser

This annual event, held early in October, raises funds for Citizens for Nuclear Technology Awareness to provide free membership for Young Professionals and our education outreach programs. It is a good time for networking for our members and the public.

Nuclear Blitzes in Classrooms

CNTA partners with high schools across the CSRA in an effort to bring education on nuclear technology to classrooms. In 2018 alone, volunteers from CNTA reached over 1,200 students across 63 classrooms in seven high schools in the area. Many of these educational efforts include teaching on nuclear, sharing educational videos, and incorporating interactive techniques to engage students.
