What college helped the Navy to start and use the Nuclear Power Program (the college is not part of the Navy)?
Is it Columbia?
"In 1946 a project was begun at the Manhattan Project's nuclear-power focused Clinton Laboratory (now the Oak Ridge National Laboratory) to develop a nuclear electric generating plant. The United States Navy decided to send eight men to this project, including three civilians and one senior and four junior naval officers. Realizing the potential that nuclear energy held for the Navy, Rickover applied.
Although he was not initially selected, through the intercession of his wartime boss, Admiral Earle Mills, who became the head of the Navy's Bureau of Ships that same year, Rickover was finally sent to Oak Ridge as the deputy manager of the entire project, granting him access to all facilities, projects and reports.
Following efforts by physicists Ross Gunn, Philip Abelson and others in the Manhattan Project, he became an early convert to the idea of nuclear marine propulsion and more specifically, naval nuclear propulsion. Rickover worked with Alvin M. Weinberg, the Oak Ridge director of research, both to establish the
Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology and to begin the design of the pressurized water reactor for submarine propulsion."
