Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

The DOE Office of Nuclear Energy Advanced Reactor Safeguards and Security (ARSS) program area seeks to support domestic deployment of advanced nuclear reactors by mitigating safeguards and security roadblocks. The program applies laboratory research and development to address near-term challenges advanced reactor vendors face in meeting Physical Protection System (PPS), Material Control and Accounting (MC&A), and Cybersecurity requirements for U.S. construction. This panel will provide a discussion on how ARSS cybersecurity efforts are adapting discoveries and best practices from other sectors to the rigorous operational technology needs at nuclear facilities.
