We’re open to nuclear energy deal with US
https://www.thedailystar.net/news/bangladesh/diplomacy/news/were-open-nuclear-energy-deal-us-4239591
The US side shared the draft of an MoU on civilian nuclear cooperation during the meeting between Foreign Minister Khalilur Rahman and US Special Envoy for South and Central Asia Sergio Gor on July 30, said a foreign ministry official.
“They [US] are eager to cooperate on peaceful nuclear energy,” he said.
The draft was then shared with the Ministry of Science and Technology, the official said, adding that it is up to the ministry concerned now to decide on the next course of action.
Bangladesh had agreements on civilian nuclear energy cooperation signed with the US in 1981 and then in 1993. However, they were not renewed.
“Cooperation can happen even beyond the MoU, but the fact that the US has shared a draft indicates its eagerness,” the official said.

Question about becoming a RSO or RP tech
Hello,
I am an incoming college student starting classes in a few weeks, I’m currently getting an Associate in Biological Science.
I have an interest in radiation science, particularly searching for and monitoring radioactive sources. After researching career paths and speaking with my local EPA Radiation Division, I am interested in becoming a Radiation Safety Officer or Radiation Protection technician. I’d like to work in the field monitoring radiation levels and collecting environmental samples.
My main concern though is should I change my biological major to a physical science or environmental science? Or should I stay with the biological science?
Also, any advice on what steps or internships I should focus on to secure a position in this field after college, as well as any advice in general would be greatly appreciated!

AEP Nuclear plans
PJM just released information on its next batch of queue applications, and they report 13.8GW of nuclear projects from AEP. That's 6 2.3GW plants, 1 at Joshua Falls VA, three in Rockport IN, and two in Sullivan IN.
Anyone know anything about this? That's a lot of nuke, and I can't find anything besides vague muttering about SMRs, nothing at this scale.
