The steep drop in undergraduate enrollments in nuclear engineering since the early 1990s is a serious threat to nuclear engineering in the U.S. and to the leadership that the U.S. has shown in nuclear matters around the globe. Without a feedstock of fresh nuclear engineers into the national nuclear infrastructure, America is on a clear course of self-destruction of an extremely valuable capability.
