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 Agency established an international Network on Innovation to Support Operating Plants (ISOP) for increasing collaboration and experience sharing in the field of innovation for the nuclear industry. It also aims to support innovation deployment within the nuclear industry. The scope of the network activities includes all types of innovations that could serve the purpose of the nuclear industry sustainability. It should include activities related to technologies, processes, frameworks including regulatory aspects and collaboration, culture & leadership. The panel discussion will focus on the ISOP philosophy and related working groups, recent projects, achievements and future plans in, among others: o Robotics and drones; o Artificial intelligence; o Advanced manufacturing; o Regulatory considerations; o Cybersecurity; o Advanced I&C. Please note that some videos from IAEA ISOP awards programme will be broadcasted.
