As demand for the world's energy sources increase at an ever increasing pace human kind is now more than ever in our history in need of a very concentrated clean energy source... which is nuclear power. Radiochemists are at the heart of human kind's ability to make this a safe reality. There is a world wide shortage of these scientist! The Radiochemistry Society initiated a program to support the development of this critical resource and awarded 3 Fellowships to very deserving students in this scientific discipline. The Radiochemistry Society spread the word globally on this program in hopes that our support will build further interest in Radiochemistry world wide! The recipients of the awards represent the Best of the Best and they are to be congratulated in the very true sense of the word as "New Pioneers"... as was the 1st Fellowship of its kind in the world. Their supporting professors are deserving of the same for their foresight in furthering this science for the betterment of us all!
