Over the last several years, the Advanced Research Projects Agency on Energy (ARPA-E) has sponsored several programs designed to improve various attributes of recycling used nuclear fuel (UNF) , such as improving waste management and reducing costs. This panel will highlight a select group of projects under ARPA-E’s Optimizing Nuclear Waste and Advanced Reactor Disposal Systems (ONWARDS) and Converting UNF Radioisotopes Into Energy (CURIE) programs that are producing results that could be impactful to future UNF recycling efforts. Join this panel to learn more about these programs and projects, potential future ARPA-E programs related to UNF, and discuss the future of UNF recycling in the U.S.
