Innovations in Nuclear Infrastructure and Education (INIE):
Under the direction of Drs. Jack Brenizer and C. Frederick Sears, Penn State led a successful effort to form a consortium consisting of, now five, Big Ten nuclear engineering programs-Penn State, Purdue, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Ohio State-in support of Innovations in Nuclear Infrastructure and Education (INIE). Our consortium receives the support of both industry and national laboratories. Our partners include: Dominion Generation, Exelon Corporation, Framatome ANP, Nuclear Management Corporation, Westinghouse Electric Company, Argonne National Laboratory, Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories. Our goal is to establish a leading organization for reactor-based research, outreach and next generation University Research Training Reactors (URTR) design in the United States .
