Currently in the United States there is a

tremendous demand for energy.

And in particular, electrical energy is an

area that our department can be of service.

So providing clean nuclear energy is one

of the options that is being looked at

very seriously in the U.S.,

as well as around the world.

Oregon State, over the years, has become the

premier thermohydraulic test facility in the country.

So basically, we're the only university

that does complete integral system

certification testing. And we've been

successful on two designs,

the AP 600 and the AP 1000.

And we've just started working on a third design.

Those first two designs were

Westinghouse designs. And now we have

an OSU design, which we're promoting.

And we're retesting here very soon.

This is our one-fourth scale test facility that

we use to assess the performance and

the safety of the AP 1000 plant.

I think the energy research that

we're doing right now is planning

for the future generations.

Not only for this country, but we believe

it has an international impact.

So the concepts that we're developing

in our labs right here, you'll see deployed

all over the world in the future.
