The Nuclear Engineering Excellence Fund

In many ways, nuclear science was born at Berkeley — from the invention of the cyclotron to the discovery of 16 elements on the periodic table. The Department of Nuclear Engineering was founded on that record of leadership. Your gift gives faculty flexible funds to respond to new opportunities and needs — launching new professors, seeding research, enriching the student experience, and upgrading labs and teaching facilities.

Today the department is a world leader in energy, safety and security, and the fast-growing fields of clean fusion energy and nuclear medicine to diagnose and combat disease. With your support, our students and faculty will continue to make a powerful impact on our future.
