Educators, employers and students are joining together  to celebrate National Nuclear Science Week January 23 – 27, focusing on the many ways nature’s most fundamental component – the atom – contributes to the service and progress of our communities and world.
National Nuclear Science Week is a partnership among the host organization, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and nuclear industry partners, including the Nuclear Energy Institute, Entergy, the U.S. Department of Energy, the American Nuclear Society, and the Society of Nuclear Medicine.
