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.

Knowledge transfer has traditionally been primarily viewed as a one-way process from the older generation to the younger generation, shaped by the valuable knowledge, wisdom and skills of the former. However, the concept of reverse knowledge transfer (where the two roles are reversed) has become increasingly important in today’s fast-evolving world – it is essential for keeping societies adaptive, workplaces innovative and individuals of all ages relevant and empowered. This session will interview a number of early and mid-career members of the Division. As well as seeking advice to their peers, modern insight will be sought (e.g. on technologies, trends or new ways of thinking) that can help to drive improvements in the nuclear criticality safety community, aided through this intergenerational collaboration. Questions will be solicited from the audience as part of the session.
