Rickover Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering

PROGRAM INFORMATION

External Release of Information

REQUIRED APPROVALS OF RESEARCH INFORMATION

The abstract of the thesis research will be checked for consistency with one of the topical areas listed in the program description.

Each fellow is required to keep a notebook describing accomplishments made while on a practicum assignment at one of the two Naval Reactors Laboratories.

The notebooks will be reviewed at the laboratories for classified material and external release of information after the completion of each practicum.

After the notebooks have been approved, material contained therein may be published, presented, displayed, or released, to anyone outside of the Rickover Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering (including the academic institution).

A similar review will be performed on the final draft of the undefended thesis.  Three weeks should be allowed for this final review.  The KAPL or Bettis mentor will assist the fellow in obtaining the required approvals.

PUBLICATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT

DOE and MUSC encourage fellows to publish reports and articles in scientific and engineering journals.  The fellow must submit any articles, reports, or thesis to MUSC prior to submission for publication.

All publications will show the joint affiliation of the fellow with the university and, if appropriate, with the laboratory in which the research was conducted, and should acknowledge fellowship support.

Fellowship support should be acknowledged in the following manner:

This research was performed under appointment to the Rickover Fellowship Program in Nuclear Engineering sponsored by Naval Reactors Division of the U.S. Department of Energy.
