The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) recently awarded a $70,000 grant to Tuskegee University to boost nuclear education and expand the workforce in nuclear and nuclear-related disciplines.

The grant is part of nearly $20 million awarded by the NRC to 70 institutions across the United States.

Congress provided the NRC funding for a $5 million Educational Curriculum program and an additional $15 million to supplement the NRC's grant program for scholarships and fellowships, faculty development, trade schools, and community colleges, with $5 million of this amount designated for the Integrated University Program.
