DOE PACKAGING UNIVERSITY SUMMER INSTITUTE AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY Your Future in Nuclear Packaging
Fast tracking educational and professional opportunities in nuclear packaging is a global challenge—and critical to ensuring Safety, Security, and Safeguards (3S) in the nuclear packaging field. Now, you can fast track your own career in the field, thanks to Argonne’s Packaging University Summer Institute.
INTRODUCING ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY’S PACKAGING UNIVERSITY SUMMER INSTITUTE In the summer of 2026, Argonne will offer a Packaging University Summer Institute, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) Packaging Certification Program (PCP).
The Summer Institute enhances Argonne’s support of the DOE-EM Packaging University Program (PUP). The Institute also supports the mission of DOE-EM’s Office of Packaging and Transportation to bridge the knowledge and experience gap between longtime experts in nuclear packaging and college and university students, as well as early- and mid-career professionals looking for opportunities to enter the field.
The Institute is important because it helps nuclear industry and regulators:
☐ Identify, recruit, train, retain, and advance motivated employees
☐ Gain credibility with clients
Longer term, the Institute will also engage high school and junior high school students in the STEM field of nuclear packaging.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF PACKAGING UNIVERSITY? Since 1997, DOE-EM has supported Argonne and other national laboratories offering 3–10-day
courses on transportation packaging for nuclear and other radioactive material. In 2013, DOE-EM, Argonne, and the University of Nevada, Reno began collaboration to develop graduate certificates programs in nuclear packaging (GCNP) and in transport security and safeguards (GCTSS). Since 2015, Argonne has held graduate-level training courses as part of the PUP, including hands-on experience with its ARG-US remote sensing and monitoring technologies.
HOW WILL THE SUMMER INSTITUTE HELP ME? The pioneering Summer Institute will:
☐ Help you gain broader and greater in-depth knowledge on packaging for nuclear and other radioactive material—emphasizing transportation Safety, Security, and Safeguards (3S).
☐ Enable you to acquire skills, make contacts in the field, and earn a university credential.
☐ Make you more competitive for employment and advancement.
HOW WILL IT WORK? The annual Summer Institute will more efficiently leverage teaching and other key resources to help students master course learning objectives by combining, for example, training courses in the application of the ASME Code to packaging design and packaging quality assurance or training courses in transport security and transport emergency response in 2026.
All courses, which are relevant to nuclear fuel cycles, are taught by highly experienced subject matter experts.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? The Summer Institute is open to both professionals in the field and highly qualified undergraduate university students who are recommended by their advisors. Limited housing at Argonne’s Guest House will be made available, and university students may qualify for financial support.
