60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy
Recent years have seen growing global interest in nuclear energy and rising confidence in the sector. For the first time since the early 2000s, there is renewed optimism about the industry’s future. This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.

Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has sponsored multiple research programs that benefit research and development of advanced reactors. MEITNER and GEMINA programs are two excellent examples among others. These programs further advance the U.S. nuclear energy technologies and increase economic competitiveness of advanced reactors. Thermal-hydraulics research plays an indispensable role in the development, deployment, and operation of advanced nuclear technologies and an important part of these programs. This panel invites panelists to participate in the discussions on the recent status of these ARPA-E supported projects, with the focus on their advances and impacts related to thermal-hydraulics.
