(includes recorded talks.)

In 2008, The Department of Nuclear Engineering at UCB was celebrating its 50th anniversary. The focus of the anniversary celebration was a special Colloquium on September 19-20, 2008 which showcased the history of our Department and its role in the development of Nuclear Power, as well as highlighting specific research contributions.

With the re-vitalization of nuclear power, this Colloquium provided a timely forum for both reflecting on the past and to looking forward in a scientific exchange, in addition to providing a venue for inspiring future nuclear scientists and engineers. The Department of Nuclear Engineering was established in 1958 and has provided programs in Nuclear Engineering to prepare students for a lifetime of technical achievement and professional leadership in academia, government, the national laboratories, and industry.
