Y-12 Simulation a Valuable Lesson for Nuclear Engineering Students
A class of UT nuclear engineering students recently got the educational opportunity of a lifetime, thanks to the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge.
Y-12 invited students from one of Howard Hall’s classes to the complex, one of the top nuclear facilities in the world, for what is known as a tabletop simulation. As the joint UT-Oak Ridge National Laboratory Governor’s Chair for Global Nuclear Security, Hall directs the Global Security Policy program at UT’s Howard H. Baker Jr. Center for Public Policy as well as UT’s Institute for Nuclear Security.
