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.

The objective of the Griffin workshop is to provide participants with an introduction to and comprehensive understanding of advanced reactor simulation capabilities in Griffin. The workshop will primarily focus on fast reactor and thermal TRISO fuel (gas-cooled and molten-salt-cooled pebble type and gas-cooled prismatic type) reactor applications but will also briefly cover applications to other reactor types. It is a 4-hour-long session that will include:
