MSTD Reception

Across the world, nuclear power production stands at the threshold of a new era driven by rapid industrial expansion, electrification, and the growth of data centers. Nuclear energy offers scalable, 24/7, and domestically controlled energy source industry, manufacturing, and national security. However, there is a significant gap between need and deployment. Accelerating the development, qualification, and deployment of advanced next generation nuclear fuels and materials is essential for the deployment of advanced nuclear to dramatically shorten the timeline for fuel innovation and qualification. This embedded topical meeting is focused on the materials and nuclear fuels research efforts that will enable the increased deployment of nuclear reactors to meet the energy imperative of quadrupling the generation of nuclear power in the United States by 2050.
