Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Session Chair:
Scott Hsu (DOE Lead Fusion Coordinator and ARPA-E Program Director)
A White House Fusion Summit earlier this year signaled U.S. ambition to develop a bold decadal plan to dramatically accelerate fusion RD&D in partnership with the private sector. This panel will bring together a broad set of stakeholders and leaders who will share their vision about how to accelerate fusion RD&D and the technical and commercialization barriers needing to be overcome.
