Led by the University of Siena in Italy, the TRAINS initiative enhances education in radiological and nuclear security.
Mohy Abdelaziz, a Ph.D. student studying under Professor Sheldon Landsberger, received an all-expenses travel award to attend the NEST Training Radiological and International Nuclear Security (TRAINS) in July. Ten fellows were chosen this year, including two from Italy and eight from the United States.
Sponsored by the Nuclear Energy Agency and led by the University of Siena in Italy, the TRAINS initiative provides interdisciplinary training and education in the security of radiological sources and nuclear materials. The program prepares the next generation of professionals with the skills needed to support nuclear safety and security as the industry continues to grow worldwide.
