Jefferson Lab awarded $8M for accelerator technology to enable transmutation
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is leading research supported by two Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) grants aimed at developing accelerator technology to enable nuclear waste recycling, decreasing the half-life of spent nuclear fuel.
Both grants, totaling $8.17 million in combined funding, were awarded through the Nuclear Energy Waste Transmutation Optimized Now (NEWTON) program, which aims to enable the transmutation of nuclear fuels by funding novel technologies for improving the performance of particle generation systems.

Limited Capacity
Two Day Workshop: June 14 & 15
Cost: $400 (includes both days)
This workshop will be focused on various aspects of the design and implementation process of Digital I&C systems for nuclear facilities, including HFE specific considerations. An array of experts from across the nuclear industry will provide presentations covering 1) lessons learned from utilities, vendors, and regulators working through the design, qualification, licensing, and implementation of Digital I&C upgrades within the current fleet of nuclear reactors, 2) recent research and focus areas from national and international organizations as it relates to Digital I&C, such as the potential applications for artificial intelligence, and 3) an overview of the future landscape as it relates to advanced reactor designs. This workshop is designed for entry-level as well as senior technical and management personnel in utilities, vendors, government, national labs, and universities.
