The Center for Space Nuclear Research (CSNR) is located in Idaho Falls, ID and operated by the Universities Space Research Association and Idaho National Laboratory. The CSNR is a focus for engaging university research scientists in research and development of advanced space nuclear systems, including power and propulsion systems, and radioisotope power generators. The CSNR creates opportunities for university researchers to collaborate with their counterparts at NASA, INL, and other DOE labs, in projects and initiatives to advance nuclear technologies for space exploration and other space applications.
The Center for Space Nuclear Research (CSNR) invites undergraduate and graduate level students to experience cutting-edge research in nuclear power and propulsion technologies through our Summer Fellowship Program. As a CSNR Summer Fellow, you will work as part of a team of students and with scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to complete a research project of current interest to NASA in potential nuclear technology performance. The Summer Fellows program allows participants to experience a real research environment, to learn from top-notch nuclear scientists, and to preview careers in research.
