Division Spotlight
Education, Training & Workforce Development
The Education, Training & Workforce Development Division provides communication among the academic, industrial, and governmental communities through the exchange of views and information on matters related to education, training and workforce development in nuclear and radiological science, engineering, and technology. Industry leaders, education and training professionals, and interested students work together through Society-sponsored meetings and publications, to enrich their professional development, to educate the general public, and to advance nuclear and radiological science and engineering.

Investment bill would provide funding options for energy projects
Coons
Moran
The bipartisan Financing Our Futures Act, which expands certain financing tools to all types of energy resources and infrastructure projects, was reintroduced to the U.S. Senate on February 20 by Sens. Jerry Moran (R., Kan.) and Chris Coons (D., Del.).
Via amendment to the Internal Revenue Code, the legislation would allow advanced nuclear energy projects to form as master limited partnerships (MLPs), a tax structure currently available only to traditional energy projects.
An MLP is a business structure that is taxed as a partnership but the ownership interests of which are traded like corporate stock on a market. Until the Internal Revenue Code is amended, MLPs will continue to be available only to investors in energy portfolios for oil, natural gas, coal extraction, and pipeline projects that derive at least 90 percent of their income from these sources. This change would take effect on January 1, 2026.

The isothermal corrosion of Cr—1 Mo steel in superheated steam is approximated by the linear relationship W = W0 + Rt, where W0 and R are constants exhibiting inverse temperature dependences. Heat flux is accounted for by applying a constant factor of 1.5 to the corrosion rate of any isotherm. No correlation for corrosion in alkaline, deoxygenated water is offered, since data are sparse. Data indicate that, in an evaporator, Cr—l Mo steel corrodes at a rate of ∼2.5 × 10−3 cm/yr.
