Description
The Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy is seeking input from universities, national laboratories, industry, and international entities on future work scopes for major research programs. The input may lead to a more robust R&D program that reflects the communities' ideas and could identify new work scopes. The areas of interest include Fuel Cycle Research and Development, Reactor Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration, Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation, and Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Crosscutting Technology Development.
• Fuel Cycle Research and Development (FC R&D) Program: develop used nuclear fuel management strategies and technologies
• Reactor Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration (RC RD&D) Program: develop new and advanced reactor designs and technologies
• Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS) Program: develop and deploy advanced computational tools for nuclear R&D, design, and analysis
• Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies (NEET) Crosscutting Technology Development (CTD): competitively awards high-priority R&D to universities, national laboratories, and industry
