DOE awards ANS-backed workforce consortium $19.2M
The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy recently awarded about $49.7 million to 10 university-led projects aiming to develop nuclear workforce training programs around the country.
DOE-NE issued its largest award, $19.2 million, to the newly formed Great Lakes Partnership to Enhance the Nuclear Workforce (GLP). This regional consortium, which is led by the University of Toledo and includes the American Nuclear Society, will use the funds to fill a variety of existing gaps in the nuclear workforce pipeline.
Technical Session|Panel|Fuel Cycle and Waste Management (FCWMD)
Wednesday, June 3, 2026|1:15–3:00PM MDT|Governor's Square 12
Although new generation fuel needs to address extreme requirements, new design tools, manufacturing processes and in-service monitoring techniques provide opportunity for paradigm shifts in the science and engineering disciplines enabling visionary fuel types. This panel will bring together academici, industry and vendors to help stimulate next generation fuel designers to think about waste solutions and recovery during the full lifecycle of the fuel and fuel systems, to minimise waste during the manufacturing and waste storage. This panel will discuss their experience, lessons learned or future vision to address gaps that may exists.
