This $500,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the NRC Scholarship and Fellowship Program (CFDA 77.008) will support research and development activities at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) over a 3-year period from November 2024 to November 2027. The award will fund a range of nuclear science and engineering projects focused on areas such as radiation-hardened sensor development, materials science for nuclear applications, AI-based nuclear risk assessment, and thermal-hydraulic modeling. As a prominent research university with expertise in nuclear technology, safety, and regulatory issues, UNLV is well-positioned to advance the NRC's mission through this collaborative research initiative. The project will leverage UNLV's specialized laboratory facilities and technical capabilities to deliver innovative solutions and cultivate a highly skilled nuclear workforce to support the design, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities.
