NEUP funds nuclear energy research and equipment upgrades at U.S. colleges and universities, and provides student educational support. The Department promotes nuclear energy as a resource capable of meeting the nation’s energy, environmental and national security needs by resolving technical, cost, safety, security and proliferation resistance through research, development and demonstration.
