🎃 Halloween is just three days away and nothing is spookier than not knowing what to dress up as!
Still scrambling for a last-minute costume? Don't worry—with the help of @ACC_National's Ricky the Reactor, we’ve got you covered with ideas that are (nu)clearly the best!
We’re keeping the momentum going!
Earlier this month, VNEC + partners (@theNIAorg, @cleanaircatf, & Virginia Innovative Nuclear Hub) hosted our 2nd Nuclear Energy 101 webinar.
👏 Thanks to @ErikCothron & Patrick White for an engaging session!

Empowering future nuclear leaders is a top priority for us. Hosting @VCUENGR ANS Students at the General Assembly is always an exciting day! Proud to work with this impressive group. Special thanks to @mnevcu for their support. #VirginiaisforNuclear
"The competitive funding opportunity will help to defray the cost of licensing fees for first movers attempting to bring advanced reactors to market." #nuclearpower
NEWS: @ENERGY is providing up to $13 million to help developers pay for the licensing fees of new advanced reactor designs and facilities.

Curious about the future of energy? Microreactors, tiny but mighty, could be a game-changer! These small-scale reactors can be built in factories and shipped to power remote areas, disaster zones, and our energy grid. In celebration of @nuclearsciweek, we're recapping some of our K-12 Educator Training webinars, like this one! Join Piyush Sabharwall of Idaho National Laboratory and moderator Eric Loewen from GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy as they break down how microreactors work and their potential for the future of clean energy.
