flag Kansas State revives nuclear engineering program, attracting over 50 students amid rising demand for nuclear expertise.

flag Kansas State University has revived its undergraduate nuclear engineering program, discontinued since 1996, drawing over 50 students in its first semester. flag The resurgence reflects growing national interest in nuclear technology driven by clean energy demands, AI and tech sector involvement, and expanding uses in health and defense. flag The program leverages the university’s existing research reactor and graduate programs, with many students switching majors or adding nuclear engineering as a double major. flag This trend aligns with broader industry concerns over an aging workforce and a shortage of trained professionals, as next-generation nuclear technologies advance and companies plan new reactor builds in Kansas.
