Representatives from the Nuclear Science and Security Consortium’s partner schools and labs as well as the NNSA convened in Berkeley, California this September to delve into NSSC’s research focus areas, and discuss plans for collaboration among partners in the next phase of the consortium. The workshop concluded at LLNL with presentations on lab research and projects, a reception and poster session, where workshop attendees were joined by lab personnel and NSSC students from UC Berkeley and UC Davis. The workshop was a great start to NSSC’s next phase!
