Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp announced that the university has surpassed MIT to establish the largest nuclear engineering research department in the U.S. Concurrently, Texas A&M is offering land for small modular reactor (SMR) development at its RELLIS campus.

This initiative, involving partnerships with several nuclear reactor companies, aims to enhance nuclear energy supply to Texas and the nation, driven by a growing demand for reliable power sources. The project aligns with state efforts to bolster energy security and economic development while positioning Texas as a leader in advanced nuclear technology.
