SEC. 3121. EDUCATION OF FUTURE NUCLEAR ENGINEERS.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Department of Defense and the United
States depend on the specialized expertise of nuclear
engineers 
who 
support 
the 
development 
and
sustainment of technologies including naval reactors,
strategic weapons, and nuclear power plants.
(2) Experts estimate that over 25 percent of the
approximately 58,000 workers in the nuclear power
industry in the United States will be eligible to retire
within 5 years, representing both a huge loss of insti-
tutional memory and a potential national security
crisis.
(3) This shortfall of workers is exacerbated by re-
ductions to the University Reactor Infrastructure and
Education Assistance program, which trains civilian
nuclear scientists and engineers. The defense and ci-
vilian nuclear industries are interdependent on a
†
880
HR 5122 EAS
limited number of educational institutions to produce
their workforce. A reduction in nuclear scientists and
engineers trained in the civilian sector may result in
a further loss of qualified personnel for defense-related
research and engineering.
(4) The Department of Defense’s successful
Science, Math and Research for Transformation
(SMART) scholarship-for-service program serves as a
good model for a targeted scholarship or fellowship
program designed to educate future scientists at the
postsecondary and postgraduate levels.
(b) REPORT ON EDUCATION OF FUTURE NUCLEAR EN-
GINEERS.—
(1) STUDY.—The Secretary of Energy shall
study the feasibility and merit of establishing a tar-
geted scholarship or fellowship program to educate fu-
ture nuclear engineers at the postsecondary and post-
graduate levels.
(2) REPORT
REQUIRED.—The President shall
submit to the congressional defense committees, to-
gether with the budget request submitted for fiscal
year 2008, a report on the study conducted by the
Secretary of Energy under paragraph (1).
