Purdue University School of Nuclear Engineering featured on Nightly Business Report.
The PBS program Nightly Business Report has been airing a feature series this week 10-29-07 to 11-1-07 on nuclear power.
Purdue was listed in the 4th segment about the aging current workforce in the field and what was/should be done about the likely shortage of trained workers as the number of nuclear powered plant looks toward a likely expansion. They featured Purdue’s NE department as the example of what is being done at universities. There was a rather substantial portion of the feature devoted to Purdue; included were interviews and scenes of the school’s students recruiting others into the program. Overall, it provided quite favorable national exposure.
