The Innovators: Nuclear Ambition

Securing America and Our Energy Future

Nuclear tests in North Korea, radioactive materials on the black market, skyrocketing energy demands worldwide. How can America protect itself against nuclear threats while responding to global need for cleaner, safer energy? Can nuclear energy production be made secure, even in the hands of our enemies? What new technologies can be used to detect and trace declared and undeclared nuclear activities to guide our national response?
Challenged by the combined promise and threat of nuclear power, scientists at Washington State University are providing new knowledge for improving nuclear activity detection and energy production safeguards. Dr. Sue Clark leads a team of radioanalytical chemists who are designing new ways to dramatically speed the identification of radioactive materials and to advance safe and sustainable energy development.
An international leader in nuclear science and radiochemistry education, WSU is responding to our societys most pressing concerns and preparing the next generation of scientists and professionals to meet our future energy and nuclear security needs.
