US NuScale Power Corporation opened its latest Energy Exploration (E2) Centre at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) to help support the development of a skilled nuclear-ready workforce. The E2 Centre was co-funded by a grant from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP).
The E2 Center will allow students at UNLV to take on the role of control room operator, providing the chance to gain real-life experience. It will also provide a means to conduct outreach to the community on the benefits of nuclear power through demonstrations and tours for local leaders, K-12 students, and the broader public.
