Enhanced nuclear energy online class aims to inform and inspire

Revamped version of MITx MOOC includes new modules on nuclear security, nuclear proliferation, and quantum engineering.

"We'd like to have an impact with the course on the greater debate about the use of nuclear energy as part of the solution for climate change," says Professor Jacopo Buongiorno.

More than 3,000 users hailing from 137 countries signed up for the MIT Department of Nuclear Energy's debut massive open online course (MOOC), Nuclear Energy: Science, Systems and Society, which debuted last year on MITx. Now, after roaring success, the course will be offered again in spring 2020, with key upgrades.
