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.
ANS Young Members Group Spotlight on National Labs
July 16, 2020|11:00AM–12:30PM (12:00–1:30PM EDT)
Available to All Users
In the sixth installment of the "Spotlight on National Labs"series, attendees will learn about Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's history and current ongoing research related to nuclear sciences and engineering.
LLNL was created in 1952 as a “new ideas” laboratory to augment the efforts of Los Alamos in accelerating the U.S.’s hydrogen bomb program. Beginning with the vision of Nobel Prize winner and LLNL namesake E.O. Lawrence, the laboratory established a matrix organization that allows experts in various disciplines to assemble as a team and work together to understand and solve complex problems, a distinguishing feature of LLNL that is still in use today. The unique LLNL environment has allowed for advances in many disparate fields, including high performance computing, laser technology, element discovery, and nuclear weapons science and technology.
