Builds

2026–2027 Project Voted On

Our general members have chosen our first flagship build: the SMR Cooling System, a bench-scale model of passive reactor cooling.

From theory to the lab bench.

QNET pairs structured nuclear education with real, hands-on builds, so members graduate with both the knowledge and the experience the industry is looking for.

Every member starts with QNET School, then joins a sub-team to apply that knowledge to an actual project.

Learn the Fundamentals

Reactor physics, radiation detection, and industry context, taught before any builds begin, through QNET School.

Join a Sub-Team

Apply your skills on real hardware and software: from mechanical design to thermal-hydraulic analysis and embedded systems.

Build Something Real

Present finished work at our end-of-year demonstration in front of sponsors and nuclear industry professionals.

Help us build it from scratch.

As a founding member, you'll shape what QNET becomes: its projects, its culture, and its place in the nuclear industry. There's no better time to get involved.
