The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) has been awarded a $500,000 project grant from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the NRC Scholarship and Fellowship Program (CFDA 77.008). The grant, awarded on January 30, 2025, will support a 3-year project to develop a regulatory framework for assessing fire risk during the transport of microreactors. UNR's Sponsored Projects Division, the university's research arm, will lead this initiative focused on improving the safety and regulatory oversight of microreactor transportation. The grant aligns with the NRC program's objectives to cultivate a capable nuclear workforce and enhance nuclear technology research and development.
