Deploying nuclear power at scale worldwide is a critical component to deep decarbonization. The Nuclear Energy Grand Challenge was organized by the Energy Impact Center and University of Michigan. The first prize competition, Reimagining Nuclear Waste, took place in partnership with the University of Michigan. It was designed to advance the clean energy economy by engaging collegiate innovators and entrepreneurs to tackle one of the most unique challenges facing the nuclear energy industry - the perception of nuclear waste. This panel will describe the process and results.
