Nuclear Engineering Making A Comeback?

Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia is apparently setting up a new program in nuclear engineering: http://www.news.vcu.edu/vcu_view/pages.aspx?nid=2904.

This may be an interesting not-so-weak signal of a counter-trend. Not so long ago, universities were shutting down nuclear engineering programs. Including, in the same state, the University of Virginia, just a couple of years ago. I seem to remember that there were once several other schools with research reactors in Virginia, such as Virginia Tech and VMI.
