The Department of Energy says it’s awarding $1.3 million to the University of Pittsburgh to help train the next generation of nuclear scientists.
The DOE says in a release Tuesday that the graduate fellowships and research grants will support a project to help develop a plan for a very high temperature reactor and a new radiation detection laboratory.

Solar Please
May 8, 2012
From my understanding, they are giving out 47 MILLION dollars to universities, etc.
2 MILLION to Washington State U
1.7 MILLION to the University of Tennessee
Etcetera
Meanwhile, Europe is installing more solar energy!
47 Million dollars sure could buy a lot of solar panels.
