Nuclear Forensics Undergraduate Scholarship Program (NFUSP)

 

The NFUSP introduces undergraduate physics, chemistry, and nuclear engineering students to nuclear forensics programs at Department of Homeland Security- sponsored facilities. The program is designed to encourage science and engineering students to become interested in nuclear forensics as a career option and is a complementary program to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Nuclear Forensics Graduate Fellowship Program.

 

9-to-12 week summer research period at a national laboratory, and a fall term to complete and present the research.
