NRC engineers share their expertise at the University of Puerto Rico
Robert Roche-Rivera and Marcos Rolón-Acevedo are licensed professional engineers who work at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. They are also alumni of the University of Puerto Rico–Mayagüez (UPRM) and have been sharing their knowledge and experience with students at their alma mater since last year, serving as adjunct professors in the university’s Department of Mechanical Engineering. During the 2023–2024 school year, they each taught two courses: Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering, and Nuclear Power Plant Engineering.
Spotlight on National Labs

Available to All Users
The U.S. DOE National Lab system has been the backbone of the U.S. nuclear discovery, design, and innovation since its inception in the 1930s and 40s. The ANS Young Members Group is excited to present a series of webinars meant to highlight each DOE lab's unique history, main research focus areas, and contributions to the U.S. and global nuclear industry.
An 890-square-mile site located west of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was founded in 1949 as the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) and has evolved through several name and management iterations since then. INL Lab Director Mark Peters and panelists will discuss what the lab currently considers as its most important research and development initiatives â ranging from new demonstration reactors to integrated energy systems to space reactors â and what to expect in the future. Did you know that INL has built and operated 52 nuclear reactors (so far) of various types since its founding in 1949? If not, come learn what makes this lab such a desirable destination for demonstration and test reactors.
