The Nuclear Engineering Student Delegation (NESD) is a student run organization that brings students from around the country to Washington, D.C., for a week over the summer to talk with politicians and policymakers about nuclear engineering education funding, energy policy, and any other concerns nuclear engineering students may have.

Delegates start the week with writing a policy statement expressing their concerns and interests, which is distributed in meetings throughout the week. Last year, delegates met with key governmental affairs staff at the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and Areva, high level staff at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE NE), four of the five Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Commissioners (including the Chairman), non-proliferation experts at the Department of State, budget staff at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), staff on the Natural Resources and Environment and Public Works Committees, and over one hundred congressional offices (including a few Representatives and Senators in person). The NESD gives students a voice in government and helps to inform policymakers about nuclear issues while simultaneously giving students an inside perspective on how government works and how to get involved.

Anyone who is interested in policy or government, or just wants to have their voice heard should apply on the website. The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Applications are due on April 20th. Policy statements from the previous years can be found here and for more information or for answers to any questions, please contact NESD.
