DOE puts $9.35 million toward high-energy-density plasma research
The Department of Energy’s Office of Science (DOE-SC) and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) on July 27 announced $9.35 million for 21 research projects in high-energy-density laboratory plasmas. High-energy-density (HED) plasma research, originally developed to support the U.S. nuclear weapons program, has applications in astrophysics, fusion power plant development, medicine, nuclear and particle physics, and radioisotope production.

With the conclusion of the CASL program in the summer of 2020, the focus for the VERA software suite it developed has shifted to commercial implementation, particularly with regard to reactor diagnostics and aging management of the current fleet. Speakers in this panel will discuss the potential applications for VERA in these areas, the technical hurdles that will need to be addressed, the regulatory aspects of employing VERA for these tasks, and the potential economic benefits to such an approach.
