U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Scholarship and Fellowship Education Grant, Faculty Development Grant, and Trade School and Community College Scholarship Grant, Fiscal Year (FY) 2020

The NRC is interested in institutions and technologies that will enhance the NRC’s transition as a modern, risk-informed regulator.

The challenge areas below are of interest to the NRC and are provided for your awareness/consideration.• Advanced non-light water reactors (e.g., material
