Gardnertown Fundamental Magnet

Every year, about sixteen of our nation's brightest students head to Washington, D.C. to discuss the issues facing nuclear energy, policy, education, and research with key policymakers. Traditionally comprised of only nuclear engineering students, the Delegation has broadened over the years to include students from a diverse assortment of disciplines including, but not limited to, non-proliferation, national security, health physics, and environmental science and policy.

These individuals are the voice of today's students and tomorrow's leaders in the nuclear industry. The Delegation, as a representative cross-section, seeks to express the views and policy of the nuclear science and engineering student population. As students, we find ourselves discovering a field that holds promise for a bright future. There is an interest and enthusiasm for the nuclear sciences in American's youth, and we look for the continued support of programs that will benefit both students and society.

The Washington Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation is an independently organized program with the goal of allowing students studying nuclear science and engineering to acquire hands-on experience with the political process to learn how they can make a positive impact on the future of nuclear energy, policy, education, and research.
