Jefferson Lab awarded $8M for accelerator technology to enable transmutation
The Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is leading research supported by two Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) grants aimed at developing accelerator technology to enable nuclear waste recycling, decreasing the half-life of spent nuclear fuel.
Both grants, totaling $8.17 million in combined funding, were awarded through the Nuclear Energy Waste Transmutation Optimized Now (NEWTON) program, which aims to enable the transmutation of nuclear fuels by funding novel technologies for improving the performance of particle generation systems.
19th International Conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Analysis (PSA 2025)
Dave Grabaskas is the manager of the Licensing and Risk Assessments Group at Argonne National Laboratory. His research focuses on advanced reactor safety, risk, and licensing, including source term analysis, component reliability, and the development of risk-informed performance-based design and licensing approaches. He currently serves as Chair of the ASME/ANS Probabilistic Risk Assessment Standard for Advanced Non-Light Water Reactor Nuclear Power Plants working group. He received his BS in Mechanical Engineering and MS and PhD in Nuclear Engineering from Ohio State University.
