Nuclear Science and Engineering at Mines

The parent organization of NuGeo, the Nuclear Science and Engineering Center (NuSEC) at the Colorado School of Mines seeks to advance nuclear science and engineering research and enhance the education of new and established professionals. NuSEC was created in 2008 to apply a demonstrated Mines capability in response to the rejuvenation of the nuclear industry. NuSEC is advised by the nuclear science and engineering community and is managed by a faculty panel consisting of CSM faculty members participating in center activities. The day-to-day activities of the center are handled by a Director. All contracting and business activities are conducted through the Colorado School of Mines.

American Nuclear Society

Taken from the ANS website:

The American Nuclear Society is a not-for-profit, international, scientific and educational organization. It was established by a group of individuals who recognized the need to unify the professional activities within the diverse fields of nuclear science and technology. December 11, 1954, marks the Society's historic beginning at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C. ANS has since developed a multifarious membership composed of approximately 11,000 engineers, scientists, administrators, and educators representing 1,600 plus corporations, educational institutions, and government agencies. It is governed by four officers and a board of directors elected by the membership.

Mines is starting a student chapter of ANS. For more information, email the interm President Saleem Drera at sdrera@mymail.mines.edu for more information.

International Atomic Energy Agency

Taken from the IAEA's website:

The IAEA is the world's center of cooperation in the nuclear field. It was set up as the world's "Atoms for Peace" organization in 1957 within the United Nations family. The Agency works with its Member States and multiple partners worldwide to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Taken from the USNRC website:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) was created as an independent agency by Congress in 1974 to enable the nation to safely use radioactive materials for beneficial civilian purposes while ensuring that people and the environment are protected. The NRC regulates commercial nuclear power plants and other uses of nuclear materials, such as in nuclear medicine, through licensing, inspection and enforcement of its requirements.

Nuclear Energy Institute

NEI's mission taken from it's website:

The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) is the policy organization of the nuclear energy and technologies industry and participates in both the national and global policy-making process.

NEI's objective is to ensure the formation of policies that promote the beneficial uses of nuclear energy and technologies in the United States and around the world.
