Nuclear engineering research opportunities at Brookhaven National Laboratories
Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a Department of Energy (DOE) multiprogram Laboratory, and is operated under contract with DOE by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI). BNL conducts a wide range of basic and applied research and development in the physical and life sciences and designs, builds, operates and maintains a large array of very large research devices such as particle accelerators, nuclear reactors, and a synchrotron light source.These devices are used not only by the resident staff for its own research interests, but, more importantly, are made available to qualified users from the scientific and technical communities to an extent that far exceeds the in-house use. Thus, these specialized facilities are designated user facilities. In a similar manner, many smaller and less visible devices and laboratories are available to a large number of outside collaborators, including students, faculty, and practicing scientists and engineers. Brief descriptions of a variety of research and development areas involving nuclear engineering expertise are presented . Also, various ways for students, faculty and practicing engineers to gain access to and become part of these activities are described.
