UW-Madison Nuclear Engineering: Continuing 50 Years of Excellence

In 1953, UW-Madison formed an interdisciplinary committee of nationally renowned educators and researchers to set the university's program in motion. With now-Engineering Physics Professor Emeritus Max Carbon as its first chair, the Department of Nuclear Engineering officially formed in 1963.In 1958, the committee hired Carbon to establish the nuclear engineering bachelor's, master's and PhD curricula. He oversaw construction of the university research and training reactor, which achieved initial criticality in early 1961, and recruited and hired top faculty and staff, an effort that garnered the program immediate ongoing recognition as among the best in the nation. It's success that's rooted in the people who, for more than a half century, have worked to improve and innovate nuclear engineering research and education at UW-Madison. And as a result, UW-Madison nuclear engineering graduates now are national and international leaders in virtually every aspect of the field.
