Reducing the time and cost to safely analyze the inner workings of a nuclear power plant leading to accelerated deployment is the thrust behind a College of Engineering project — one of just 278 from across the country — selected for the Genesis Mission, a historic national initiative designed to double America’s scientific productivity. Led by mechanical engineering professor WooHyun Jung, the $750,000, nine-month project was chosen for the “Delivering Nuclear Energy that is Faster, Safer, Cheaper” challenge, one of over 20 key research areas identified by the Department of Energy to accelerate breakthroughs in energy, discovery science, and national security.
