Help with getting the word out-crowd sourcing a floating nuclear power plant concept


As you know a group of faculty and students based  at MIT and at Wisconsin, led by Jacopo Buongiorno, are developing a floating nuclear power plant concept. 

They have created a wiki (http://floatingreactor.mit.edu) to crowdsource ideas for the new design is now live. To be successful, they'll need to reach out as broadly as possible, especially to nuclear engineering students in the US. Could you please help us get the word out?

They'll reward winning ideas with prizes ranging from $500 to $2000. Students can contribute individually, or they could also use the floating plant as a topic for their design courses. 

Thank you very much for your help with this.
