The university’s Nuclear Engineering Teaching Laboratory received the Meritorious Achievement in Operations Award recognizing outstanding nuclear reactor operations from the American Nuclear Society.  The society, which represents test, research, and training reactors, nominated the university’s reactor, then asked representatives from nuclear power plants to vote on approving the laboratory’s selection.  The award honors licensed and unlicensed personnel operating a nuclear facility and performing their duties in an exemplary manner. The award was given to Sean O’Kelly the Associate Director for the Nuclear Engineering Teaching Lab for his diligent performance in overseeing the day to day operations of the facility.
