That is exactly what LSU Engineering researchers are working on thanks to a $500,000 grant from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the first NRC research grant LSU has ever received.
Key Points:
- That is exactly what LSU Engineering researchers are working on thanks to a $500,000 grant from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the first NRC research grant LSU has ever received.
- Sharma’s team hopes its research will eventually help keep all nuclear power plants safe, including the two in Louisiana that produce 16% of the state’s energy.
- “Nuclear power is crucial to the U.S. Gulf Coast region, with two nuclear power plants in Louisiana and another eight in neighboring Mississippi, Arkansas, and Alabama,” Sharma said.
- “Therefore, strengthening the nuclear research capabilities, educational infrastructure, and nuclear workforce in Louisiana will be a strong focus of the proposed disciplinary partnership.”
