This DVD features the historical perspective of the program, including in-depth chapter interviews with founding NPRE professors, Roy Axford, Dan Hang, Barclay Jones and George Miley, and loads of historic photos. It also discusses the bright future for nuclear engineering programs and research, and what that means for NPRE at Illinois. The video was a highlight of the NPRE Alumni and Friends Dinner held Friday, September 12, 2008, at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center.
