The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) awarded a $700,000 Project Grant to the University of Massachusetts Lowell under the NRC Scholarship and Fellowship Program (CFDA 77.008). The grant, entitled "Distinguished Faculty Advancement Program for Nuclear Materials", will support advanced research, education, and workforce development in nuclear science, engineering, and related technical disciplines at the university over a 4-year period from June 2024 to June 2028. The key products and services to be delivered through this funding include undergraduate and graduate scholarships, faculty development grants, and targeted research projects focused on areas such as autonomous robotics, seismic risk assessment, multiphase flow analysis, additive manufacturing qualifications, cybersecurity for advanced reactors, and radiation-hardened sensor development. The grant will help cultivate a capable nuclear workforce to support the design, construction, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials.
