UIUC submits MMR construction permit application
The University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign, in partnership with Nano Nuclear Energy, has submitted a construction permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for construction of a Kronos micro modular reactor (MMR). This is the first major step in the two-part 10 CFR Part 50 licensing process for the research and test reactor and is the culmination of years of technical refinement and regulatory alignment.
The team chose to engage with the NRC in a preapplication readiness assessment, providing the agency with draft versions of the majority of the CPA’s technical content for feedback, which is expected to ensure a high-quality application.

ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
The ANS Student Sections Committee invites you to join us for a workshop on graduate fellowships. We will open with a few general tips and tricks for writing a great application. Then, we will give an overview of at least eight fellowships you can apply for. We will also have administrators for a few of these fellowships attend and speak about their specific programs.
We will wrap up the session by going over ANS scholarships, helping you select the ones that are right for you, and showing you how to start a new application.
This is a workshop, so come prepared to ask questions and take notes!
