“I’d like to thank Laurentis for its generous contribution to CNER, which will support our students and their projects,” said Dr. William Cook, Director of the CNER. “These young engineers in training are engaged in important work related to advancing Small Modular Reactors and improving reactor inspections and maintenance, which is leading to innovative and impactful solutions for the global industry.”
