Powering the future: How the DOE is fueling nuclear fuel cycle research and development
As global interest in nuclear energy surges, the United States must remain at the forefront of research and development to ensure national energy security, advance nuclear technologies, and promote international cooperation on safety and nonproliferation. A crucial step in achieving this is analyzing how funding and resources are allocated to better understand how to direct future research and development. The Department of Energy has spearheaded this effort by funding hundreds of research projects across the country through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). This initiative has empowered dozens of universities to collaborate toward a nuclear-friendly future.

Fundamental to the successful operation of any nuclear site is a first-class safety culture which strives to continually improve in response to good industry practices and operating experience feedback. Presenters will provide examples of either specific good practices and / or lessons learned at their site, following which an audience discussion will be initiated on alternative good practices and experiences in these areas.
