The Maryland Energy Innovation Institute and the Maryland Radiation Facilities are proud to partner with Constellation for an Energy Explorers Day. Energy Explorers is a clean energy initiative designed to expand access to and understanding of nuclear energy production and energy storage technology for junior high and high school students. The program builds on the university’s long-standing research reactor tour by adding hands-on activities, college resources, and mentorship from undergraduate students.
