WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University and Duke Energy recently announced plans for a lecture series to help the public learn more about advances being made in nuclear energy and small modular reactors. The series was announced at the first meeting of an executive advisory committee steering the joint exploration between Purdue and Duke Energy into the feasibility of using advanced nuclear energy to meet the long-term energy needs of the West Lafayette campus.
The committee, which gathered for the first time on June 23, will meet frequently over the course of the study to provide guidance and recommendations to Purdue and Duke Energy on three key fronts: safety, regulatory processes, and research.
The executive advisory committee consists of expert leaders from the public and private sectors.
