Growing the future nuclear energy workforce in the Volunteer State
The Volunteer State’s governor and representatives have made clear their intention to position Tennessee at the forefront of a nuclear energy growth surge over the next several years. They’re making the financial investment to back up this commitment, pledging $50 million to recruit the innovative and invest in the existing nuclear companies in the state.
In an interview with advocacy group Nuclear Matters, Gov. Bill Lee expressed his excitement and optimism for Tennessee’s nuclear future.
“Tennessee is one of the fastest growing states in the country,” he said. “Because of that, we have people and companies moving here and we need to have a dependable, reliable energy source.”

Old and Nu
Albuquerque, NM|The University of New Mexico
We at the American Nuclear Society and the University of New Mexico are thrilled to invite students, professionals, educators, and future trailblazers in the fields of nuclear science and technology to our 2025 ANS Student Conference.
Our theme is Old and Nu. This theme honors New Mexico’s role in the dawn of the nuclear era and the vast role the state has played in the continued expansion of nuclear science and technology. The University of New Mexico, nestled between Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs, as well as other key nuclear entities, is a hub of knowledge and collaboration in neutronics, thermal hydraulics, criticality safety, nuclear policy, and more! In addition to its prominence as a place of scientific study, Albuquerque is a culturally rich community on Native land, set against the backdrop of the beautiful Rio Grande and Sandia Mountains.
Our Conference aims to:
Join us at the nexus of heritage and progress, where we celebrate past achievements and anticipate future advancements to nuclear science and engineering.
Submissions, including research, internship projects, senior design projects, and nuclear-policy analysis, are invited. Authors are required to use the ANS template provided at https://www.ans.org/pubs/transactions/
