The National Nuclear Security Administration's Consortium of Technology

I was obsessed with any sin that's non-light water at that time. In particular, liquid metal cool reactors. So one of the things that actually was very helpful is interacting with faculties through both coursework as well as American Nuclear Society. And a faculty member suggested me to contact a colleague of his at Argonne National Lab who was working on an S-Star reactor. I said, wow, that's a dream internship. This was past my junior year. He went there again that winter and then he went for the third time next summer between the undergraduate and graduate schools. We decided to compete for a consortium back in 2018. It's a five-year commitment, $25 million
