The US universities have been a cornerstone of nuclear science and engineering research and education since the beginning. These programs serve as hotbeds for idea creation as well as educating the next generation of scientists and engineers and performing fundamental research. The US Department of Energy – Office of Nuclear Energy supports the programs through student and faculty support as well as limited infrastructure funding. This panel will discuss existing R&D capability gaps and present potential solutions that could be realized by significantly increasing infrastructure funding to US university NS&E programs.
