Centers of Excellence Created at UK Universities in Nuclear Science.
That would be the science of Fermi, Meitner, Bohr, Gamow, Frisch, Bethe and Seaborg.

Nuclear excellence centres for UK universities

Rolls-Royce has announced the opening of two new university centres dedicated to nuclear technology at Imperial College in London and the University of Manchester.

The two University Technology Centres (UTCs) will serve as hubs for excellence in nuclear science and engineering, providing a focal point for collaboration between Rolls-Royce and academics on new research in nuclear projects. The centres will focus on material properties, modelling of nuclear plant processes and safety and reliability, with applications in both civil and naval nuclear power.

Colin Smith, Rolls-Royce's director of engineering and technology, attended opening ceremonies at both institutions, which he described as proven centres of excellence for nuclear science. "Rolls-Royce is well placed to deliver world-class engineering and manufacturing capability to support the delivery of global nuclear power programs and we are delighted that these new UTC collaborations will help us remain at the cutting edge of technology," he said.

Students at the two universities also stand to benefit, as the centres help them to prepare for careers in the nuclear industry and give them better access to experts, industrial facilities and employment opportunities, according to Imperial engineering faculty principal Stephen Richardson.

According to a talk I attended a few years ago at the American Chemical Society, the entire United States graduates just 100 Ph.D's in nuclear chemistry each year. Of these, more than half are foreign born.

If you want to know why your country was inspired by a little homoculus dangerous fossil fuel executive to attack a country based on a trumped up "mushroom cloud," uranium lie, please feel free to thank nuclear science ignorance.

I assure you that anyone who worked in a center of "nuclear excellence" was unimpressed by the lie.

The homoculus in question is the freak who ran Halliburton the company that built that oil rig that's leaking all over the gulf because we have guys like the "environmentalist" Amory Lovins who are paid by companies to hate the science they know nothing about, nuclear science.
