enCore Energy Teams Up with Texas A&M to Fund Fellowship in Nuclear Engineering Education

enCore Energy Establishes Dr. Dennis Stover Fellowship

In a significant move aimed at nurturing the next generation of engineers, enCore Energy, trading under NASDAQ: EU, has announced the establishment of the Dr. Dennis Stover Fellowship at Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK). This new initiative supports graduate students pursuing degrees in chemical engineering, recognizing the vital contributions of Dr. Dennis Stover, a Director at enCore and a trailblazer in In-Situ Recovery (ISR) uranium extraction methods.

Honoring a Visionary in Nuclear Engineering

Dr. Stover's illustrious career spans over five decades, largely focused on uranium extraction and nuclear energy, which has significantly impacted the industry. He began his journey in South Texas, where the first commercial ISR operation in the United States was established at the Clay West uranium project in 1975. His ongoing work at enCore’s Alta Mesa Project continues to inform and improve the practices of wellfield development and operational efficiency.

Notably, Dr. Stover advocates for education as a key driver of innovation. With his deep-rooted links to TAMUK, he has long viewed the institution as pivotal in shaping the future of the uranium industry, fostering an environment where engineering and geologic graduates contribute to successful ISR projects nationwide.

Empowering Future Generations of Engineers

The fellowship aims to provide financial support to graduate students who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential. As Dr. Stover puts it, "Education is the foundation of innovation, and I hope this fellowship will inspire and empower future generations of engineers to advance nuclear technology, just as I was once inspired."

The inaugural funding of $120,000 for the fellowship comes from the enCore Energy Education Society, with additional support from several contributors, highlighting a collective commitment to fostering educational excellence in engineering.

Dr. James Palmer, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at TAMUK, shares the excitement surrounding this fellowship, emphasizing its role in recruitment and retention of outstanding students in their Chemical Engineering program. This collaborative effort not only honors Dr. Stover's legacy but strengthens the program’s future, providing students with enriching opportunities.

The Role of enCore Energy Education Society

The enCore Energy Education Society aims to supply financial resources to students pursuing education in fields crucial to the ISR uranium extraction process. Their upcoming initiatives are designed to facilitate learning and development in nuclear energy, ensuring higher participation in the industry from skilled graduates. The Society and TAMUK Foundation encourage contributions to sustain the Dr. Dennis Stover Fellowship, which is crucial for nurturing young minds and promoting advancements in nuclear technologies.

Vision for the Future

enCore Energy Corp. is recognized as America’s Clean Energy Company™, committed to providing clean and affordable nuclear fuel. Their pioneering efforts in uranium extraction, particularly through ISR, position them as leaders in the market. With projects not just in South Texas but also planned in South Dakota and Wyoming, enCore is dedicated to positive community impacts and sustainable development practices.

As the energy landscape continues to evolve, investments in education and technology will play a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable future in clean energy. The Dr. Dennis Stover Fellowship stands as a testament to this commitment, reminding all of us that nurturing talent is essential to drive meaningful innovation in uranium extraction and nuclear energy.
