NCAEE and CWEEL April Meeting
Join us on April 28th with Dr. Colby Fleming for a tour of NCSU PULSTAR nuclear reactor
Nuclear energy is carbon-free, dispatchable, reliable and runs at all times. Right now, 94 nuclear reactors provide nearly 20% of the United States electricity portfolio, nearly half of the country’s carbon-free electricity. Join us on a tour of the PULSTAR reactor, a 1-MW pool-type nuclear research reactor that is administered by the Nuclear Reactor Program and located in Burlington Laboratory on North Carolina State University’s north campus.

Speaker Bio:
Dr. Colby Fleming is the Manager of Engineering and Operations for the PULSTAR reactor. She received her PhD from North Carolina State University investigating reactor multi-physics effects including reactor modeling and simulation techniques as well as the development of fundamental data for reactor physics simulations. Her current research at the PULSTAR facility includes the design and safety analysis for first-of-a-kind facilities which are being installed at the PULSTAR reactor.
Directions:
We recommend parking in the Public Metered Parking on Cates Avenue in the deck and then walking to the Burlington Labs – North entrance where we will meet the group in the lobby. Please note, it is about a 10-15 minute walk from the parking deck to our building.
Please all attendees to bring a photo ID for the reactor check-in process. We also ask that everyone please wear closed toed shoes.
