Observations across the country include engineering fairs at colleges in Idaho, field trips to the National Museum of Nuclear Science &amp; History in New Mexico, teacher development workshops in Chicago, classroom presentations in Virginia, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>The week is a national, broadly observed recognition of how human  knowledge has directed the energy of our most fundamental component, the  atom, to the service and progress of our communities and world. It is  intended to advance public and industry awareness of the key benefits,  and to recognize industry professionals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the nation&#8217;s spotlight on energy generation and a greener  environment, it makes sense to recognize the contributions of nuclear  power. Other technologies, such as nuclear medicine with its diagnostic  and treatment opportunities, are also hugely important to all  Americans,&#8221; said Jim Walther, Director of  the National Museum of Nuclear Science &amp; History. &#8220;The future  career needs in science and energy are significant as well.
