Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project

The Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project is a research initiative at the University of Michigan focused on developing safe, efficient nuclear energy and advancing nuclear engineering. Established in the 1940s as a memorial for those who served in World War II, it combines scientific research, education, and public policy efforts to explore nuclear technology’s benefits and risks. The project aims to promote responsible nuclear innovation, including reactor safety, waste management, and energy sustainability, contributing to national and global energy solutions through collaborative, multidisciplinary efforts.
