THANK YOU!
The Nuclear Engineering Division thanks all participants which contributed to
make a success of the Open House event.
If you attended, please take a minute to fill out the
survey on the Open House!
Argonne opened its gates to the community on
Saturday, August 29, from 9am to 4:30pm.
NE actively
participated in this event with activities
inside and outside Building 208, the home of the Nuclear
Engineering Division.
Inside building 208
KEYWORDS:
Nuclear Engineering; National Security; Environment, Safety and
Health
- Learn how a nuclear reactor works.
- Learn how nuclear energy can help meet America’s needs for safe and secure energy without contributing to global warming.
-
Visit the
nuclear energy history exhibit that
highlights our pioneering role in developing peaceful
uses of nuclear technology used by major nuclear power
plants throughout the world.
Don't miss the opportunity to explore the exhibit which, in the words of "Nuclear News" magazine, "taking advantage of advances in computer- generated graphics and displays artifacts dating back to the Manhattan Project, is a fascinating trip that starts with the dawn of the nuclear age and travels through the history of Argonne’s unique role in the development of nuclear power".
