NUCLEAR Fun Fact of the Week
Department / Organization: American Nuclear Society Is Nuclear Energy Considered Renewable? (Click blue link for answer!!)
ANSWER: Not technically since it uses mined uranium. But uranium is extremely energy-dense, and with advanced reactors and fuel recycling it could supply energy for centuries or longer. (Source linked below) OVERVIEW: If you enjoyed this fact and want to explore nuclear from many different perspectives, including energy, policy, and engineering, consider joining the AMERICAN NUCLEAR SOCIETY. We host casual meetings with FREE FOOD, opportunities to talk directly with INDUSTRY PROFFESIONALS, and OPEN CONVERSATIONS about how nuclear fits into the future of energy. SEMINAR DESCRIPTION: This week we will not be having a seminar/ANS meeting but stay posted for next week :) TIME/LOCATION: Typically there are two back to back events held in Hill Hall. Nuclear seminars are every Wednesday from 4–5 pm in Room 202, followed by ANS meetings from 5–6 pm in Room 209. Come to either or stay for both.
