Class Project

 

First:  If you need a quick general background, you have two quick options:  go to the kid’s page and look at the nuclear summary OR if you’re looking for something more detailed, go to the introduction to nuclear.

Second:  You might want to check out “for students and teachers” in the upper left of the menu for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Science Club in the upper left of the menu for the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI).

If you still need help, try the National Energy Information Center at infoctr@eia.doe.gov or phone (202) 586-8800.
