You Can’t Reach Critical Mass Without Chemical Engineers
By Lowell Aplebaum | Comments (0)
Maybe you already knew this but AIChE’s first Division was the Nuclear Engineering Division. There’s a reason for that. I’m not a chemical engineer but what I learned from talking to members of the Division is that obtaining “the minimum mass of particular fissionable nuclide on a given volume required to sustain a nuclear chain reaction” is a chemical engineering challenge.
As the AIChE Annual Meeting approaches you can help ChEnected reach critical mass while ChEnected helps you get prepared for the meeting.
