Nuclear engineering is the engineering discipline concerned with designing and applying systems that utilize the energy released by nuclear processes. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The most prominent application of nuclear engineering is the generation of electricity.
In 2004, the U.S. Department of Energy extended its Foreign Research Reactor Spent Nuclear Fuel Acceptance program until 2019. [ 4 ] As of 2016, a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report concluded converting all research reactors to LEU cannot be completed until 2035 at the earliest.
The Berkeley Research Reactor was an active research nuclear reactor housed in the basement of the Etcheverry Hall in University of California, Berkeley. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The reactor became critical on 10 August 1966 and was decommissioned in 1987.

The MITR research program encompasses most aspects of neutron science and engineering including nuclear medicine. Some of these activities are: Neutron activation analysis for the identification of trace elements and isotope ratios in geological specimens; Fission engineering; Materials testing; Training; Neutron transmutation doping of silicon
INL is an applied engineering laboratory dedicated to supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's research of nuclear energy, national and homeland security, and clean energy. Past and current work includes initial development of: nuclear reactor designs, prototype reactors for the U.S. Navy, and technologies to manage nuclear waste.
The Reed Research Reactor (RRR) is a research nuclear reactor located on-campus at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. It is a pool-type TRIGA Mark I reactor, built by General Atomics in 1968 and operated since then under licence from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The maximum thermal output is 250 kW.
