radiation sources. This type of research is vital to the academic<br />
community to help promote excellence in nuclear engineering<br />
and provide resolution to issues confronting nuclear<br />
engineering in general.<br />
The Office of Nuclear Energy (http://www.ne.doe.gov/)<br />
also provides tuition, stipends, and practicums to outstanding<br />
graduate students studying nuclear engineering and health<br />
physics and undergraduate scholarships and practicums<br />
to students pursuing a nuclear engineering course of study<br />
to ensure that our country will have an adequate supply of<br />
trained nuclear scientists and engineers. As an element of this<br />
activity, the University Partnership Program <strong>pa</strong>irs minority<br />
institutions with institutions offering a nuclear engineering<br />
degree to enable more minorities to enter the field of nuclear<br />
engineering.<br />

international business support.<br />
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy<br />
(EERE) works with business, industry, universities, and<br />
others to increase the use of renewable energy and energy<br />
efficiency technologies. One way EERE encourages the<br />
growth of these technologies is by offering financial assistance<br />
opportunities for their development and demonstration.<br />
