ANS Commends DOE's Advanced Reactor Investment Program

American Nuclear Society (ANS) President Eugene S. Grecheck said that the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy’s announcement today of two grant winners in the Advanced Reactor Industry Concept Development Competition demonstrates its commitment to the development of new nuclear energy resources in the U.S.  

“This grant represents one of the many steps DOE is taking in a renaissance for nuclear research and development in the U.S.,” Grecheck noted. He said that many American Nuclear Society members will be closely involved in developing new nuclear technologies that will be vital in global efforts to reduce carbon emissions from energy sources. “Grants such as this, along with expanded nuclear research and development at DOE labs, have nuclear energy poised for growth.”
